Museum 123

Museum 123 brings a new quality to counting books: famous paintings. Each number asks a question for the reader to answer by counting an aspect of the following picture. One example is the number of buttons on a uniform. It requires that readers interact through counting and answering the questions. It is a predictable answer because the text goes in order from one to ten. This book is great for us New York City educators because it can be a companion on a fieldtrip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the creator of the book, who only used pieces from their museum's collection.
