A renowned picture book creator makes learning numbers a breeze by
weaving them into the familiar scenes of a young child’s world.
One is me, Katie.
Here I am, all by myself.
But I’m not by myself for long.
Katie and her baby brother, Olly, make two, which is a good thing when they want to play hide-and-seek. Like every young child, Katie has plenty of things to count, like a friend’s four kittens, six guests at a tea party, or ten people on a crowded bus. Shirley Hughes’s sure, simple language and beguiling, realistic illustrations add up to a gentle story that easily builds preschoolers’ familiarity with numbers.

Shirley Hughes is the illustrator of more than two hundred children’s books and has won many prestigious awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal twice. She is the author-illustrator of OLLY AND ME, another book about Katie and her little brother, as well as ANNIE ROSE IS MY LITTLE SISTER. She lives in London.
PreSchool-Grade 1—This concept book spans from 1 to 10, but "Numbers go on forever." The artwork is retooled from earlier books, but the text is fresh. Each spread features Hughes's distinctive watercolor and pencil illustrations of endearing children and several lines of text. Readers are given many opportunities to explore the numbers, such as the spread for two: banging saucepan lids, twin babies, sets of socks and shoes, two to play hide-and-seek, and two for bouncing games. This pleasant concept book has enough detail to invite lap sharing but is both simple and engaging enough to use with a group.—Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ END
