Books with title The Baker's Dozen: A Counting Book

Pour out the candies. Get ready. Get set. This counting book is the tastiest yet! This yummy little counting book teaches the numbers 1 through 12, six colors of the "M&M's" Chocolate Candies, including the new blue, and three primary shapes: the circle, square, and triangle. Beginning scholars also learn the sets of twelve. What's more, children are introduced to simple math! Hungry learners are rewarded in the last section of the book, where they learn simple subtraction by eating the learning tools, twelve "M&M's" Chocolate Candies! The review page at the end ties it all together and reinforces newly learned concepts and skills.

From one to twelve, children are introduced to the sensible beauty & wisdom of the Shakers in this lovely rhythmic counting book. Sturdy wooden tools, delicate drawings of doves, & homemade fruit pies -- & the children who eat them -- are just some of the familiar objects that will inspire an appreciation of the Shakers & their simple gifts. Beautiful photographs & an engaging afterword & bibliography give context to the people & the objects featured in the book. This is not only a unique counting book but an excellent tool for discussions about American history & arts & crafts.
