Hi all,

I'm speaking at a elementary educators event (Pre-K, K, 1st, 2nd grade teachers) next week and am including various math related PBs (counting, shapes, basic addition, subtraction, etc.) on my handouts.

I want to expand my list so please share your favorite PBs that have anything to do with counting and basic math concepts for the very young.

Thanks much!

Alison

This is a funny math book: 1 + 1 = 5 And Other Unlikely Additions by David LaRochelle. It's a collection of surprising (but plausible) math facts. 1 + 1 = 3? 1 unicorn + 1 goat = 3 horns! 1 + 1 = 6? 1 duet + 1 quartet = 6 musicians! I love it,  my kids love it!

For the first and second graders, Kane Press has a popular series called MATH MATTERS (http://www.kanepress.com/intro-mm.html). They're following it up with a new series called MOUSE MATH for the littler kids, but I think the first titles won't come out till August or thereabouts.

My daughter liked those Stuart Murphy math picture books, too.

There's an article on School Library Journal that lists several picture books for teaching math.  It's called, "As Easy as Pi: Picture books are perfect for teaching math":
http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6727275.html

Also, author Susanna Hill features books reviewed by fellow writers on "Perfect Picture Book Friday."  It's great, because there's an alphabetical and by category list of books that have been reviewed, and the reviews usually include resources and activities pertaining to each book.

Here are two off her list along with the reviews:
