Teeth, Tails, & Tentacles: An Animal Counting Book - Christopher Wormell
Here is another counting book that does so much more than just teach numbers. First, Wormell's striking linocuts are amazing. Just like his other book, Mice, Morals, & Monkey Business, they are deceptively simple, but convey so much meaning. This book will not only help children learn about numbers and counting, but it will also help children learn about different animals and their various parts and pieces. It's also a great way to expand vocabulary as your child counts whale barnacles and leopard rosettes. And, in the back there is an index of sorts with each animal and a brief description. I would love to own the entire Wormell linocut collection.
