"Rooster's Off to See the World" and "The Midnight Farm"

Rooster's Off to See the World (Aladdin Picture Books)
by Eric Carle
Rooster begins a journey and invites groups of animals he meets along the way: 2 cats, 3 frogs, 4 turtles, and 5 fish. As the day fades, each group of animals decides to head for home, leaving Rooster alone once more. This book provides excellent opportunities to teach counting on, addition, and subtraction accompanied by the visual treat of Eric Carle's vibrant illustrations.


The Midnight Farm (Picture Puffins)
By Reeve Lindberg
This is a beautiful counting book that presents farm and woodland animals at night for counting (1-10) all in rhyme. The illustrations are richly colored and detailed and make darkness seem soft and cozy rather than scary.
