Dogs Counting Book

Dogs counting - OMGosh this book had me LOLing and appreciating a well-written story! Frances Mackay has done a stellar job in so many ways - as a counting book, as a funny storybook, as a dog informational book, as a seek-and-find book too. I’m impressed with the fully developed storyline, which is often overlooked in counting books for this age group. I’m impressed with the illustrations that accurately depict the differences between breeds of dogs. Finally, I’m impressed with all the comical, little additions that make you laugh, search, recount, etc…. One of the BEST counting books I’ve seen!

This book is so well done! I enjoyed every aspect of it. It's cute and fun, with engaging illustrations and rhyming words. While there are a lot of counting books out there already, I appreciate how this author put a different spin on hers, making it stand out from the rest. Not only does it keep the attention of little ones, but I also found it fun to read aloud.

A very cute book, that will enable the 2-5 yr old to learn how to count. Well done to the author for a creative approach to learning.

Kids love to count and they love dogs, so this counting dog book is sure to delight! Told in simple rhyme, with engaging illustrations, this book will teach about numbers, comparisons, and dog breeds. After a couple of reads, children will be able to fill in some of the words. Fun all around from an author who knows kids!

When I used to be a preschool teacher, one of the ways that students would perk up and pay attention was when we read counting books. It was a way in which they could all participate and try to sound out numbers together as a group and learn from each other. I would personally recommend this for children ages 2-3. Toddlers are going to absolutely love this. I love the playful artwork of the dogs running with their ears in the air, their tongues out, their tails wagging, and the fun way they interact with other dogs.
