You and your child decide what to count on each page. You have many choices, and the longer you look, the more possibilities you'll notice. There are no wrong answers in this book. As long as you're talking about what you see, think, and wonder, you're talking math!A  concept book that gives readers the choice of what to  count.  Danielson's analytical approach to the counting book begins with a   photograph of shoes in a box and some guided options of what to count,   such as the number of shoes (2) or the number of pairs (1). He   consistently includes open questions to encourage independent, creative   thinking. Following the example of the shoes, the phrase \"How many?\"   appears on the left with a photograph on the right depicting various   foods as they are prepared for cooking, usually three spreads per type   of foodstuff. The mostly overhead angle and neat, intentional layout of   the photographs makes for clear expectations when decoding the images.   Each foodstuff starts simple (a bowl of grapefruits), then changes the   items' state somehow (halved grapefruits on a cutting board with new   tools nearby) then ends on a more-complex image (the fruit juiced in a   measuring cup with glasses and more whole fruit in the background). The   penultimate set of photos shows a kitchen counter with assorted items   from previous pages, serving as a culmination of sorts to the visual   narrative. The ending pages encourage rereads and \"new questions to   wonder about,\" such as the fairly abstract, \"What numbers are missing?\"   After an initial read with a caregiver, young readers can easily go  back  and contemplate the pages independently to make new discoveries.  Innovative and intellectually stimulating. \u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003eChristopher Danielson has taught math to learners of all ages.
