As a parent, you are your child’s first teacher. Give your children the best possible start on their educational and spiritual journey by teaching them how to count to seven with the love of God.As a teacher for over fifteen years myself, I understand that the skill of counting and working with numbers is a fundamental math skill required for starting school. By working with your child on fun and interesting activities, you can help your child expand essential skills in this subject matter. Many children enter pre-school unable to count. Please don’t let your child be one of those children.Each of the seven numbers has bright and colorful images that depict the creation. Perfect as your child's first book.Blessings,Mary
