100 Bugs!: A Counting Book
by Kate Narita
Age: Preschool-1st grade
Counting and addition
Nature: Plants
Two budding entomologists go explore their backyard in search of a variety of common bugs (butterflies, ladybugs, bumblebees) and some unique ones, too (spittlebugs and katydids). Every spread provides a different way to count to ten and is written to introduce addition by separating one group of bugs into two. Alongside this beginning math concept, listeners are exposed to a variety of unique plant names like bugbane, coralbells, and woodland sage. At the very end, the brother and sister look at their data collection from the day and count up to 100 via this math sequence: "10 from before plus 10 more. 20 bugs hanging out. 20 from before, plus 10 more. 30 bugs hanging out," etc.
The rhyming text adds comfort to listeners as they are building upon and learning new math concepts. Due to the intricate detail of the illustrations, this would make a challenging classroom read-aloud but a perfect lapsit read between adult and child.
