Oops, Too Many Scoops!

9,What better way to begin teaching toddlers and young children the basics of counting and colors than ice cream scoops? The book starts by presenting one scoop at a time to count from 1 to 10. After all scoops fall off the cone, the scenario starts over again adding in the color of each scoop. Alas, after adding the pink scoop number 10, all scoops topple over again. The book ends with each scoop in its own cone and invites the reader to Count them up. Pick a color. Then eat it up, ice cream and cone! This book is appropriate to begin teaching preschool- and kindergarten-aged children numbers, counting, and colors. They will also begin to develop word recognition and early reading skills. With big, colorful images and simple rhyming text, this book provides an entertaining and engaging introduction to numbers and colors. Scoop by scoop young and old alike will enjoy counting their way through a colorful (but toppling) treat.Heather M.
