From Booklist
K-Gr. 2. Classes gearing up for 100th day celebrations will delight in this collection of 100 poems that could be shared one-a-day. Some poems include whimsical arithmetic exercises, such as the numbered list in "100 Picnic Pests" that invites children to add insects or several poems that encourage counting to 100 by 10s and 20s. Other selections are atmospheric scenes that make only a passing reference to 100: "the one hundred little parachutes" that blow off a dandelion, for instance. Children with beginning-of-the-year jitters will appreciate the warm opening poem, which offers a reassuring list of the familiar activities that will make up the first 100 days. Salerno, who also illustrated Franco's Mathematickels (2003), contributes stylish, cheerful gouache paintings, which, while mostly too small to be easily viewed by groups, extend the poems' lighthearted moods. Pair this with Rosemary Wells' Emily's First 100 Days of School (2000) to help kids prepare for the big countdown. Gillian Engberg
