Skills dealing with counting and cardinality provide essential foundations for beginning math students. Readers learn important topics, such as counting from 1 to 10, comparing numbers, answering "how many?" questions, counting by 10s, and writing numbers. Each topic is explained in detail using accessible text and colorful images to help readers independently explore these core math concepts. Fun and familiar zoo animals help readers practice comparing numbers using number lines. This title reflects standard K.CC.C.7 of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. This book should be paired with "A Day at the Zoo" (9781477719855) from the InfoMax Math Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
