Count 1, 2, 3 with Me, by Connie Arnold and illustrated by Ginger Nielson,
is a lovely rhyming, counting book.
Parents will enjoy sharing it with their preschoolers. And teachers can read it aloud with their
early kindergarten students learning to count to ten.
The book takes you all over
with happy, smiling children, playing games, walking, and viewing the world
through wonder-filled eyes. They see
normal daily home life scenes. They see
pets in the park and wild animals in their zoo habitats. They see insects, games, and fun activities --
everything that children can relate to in their world and at their level.
This sweet book is complemented
by Ginger Nielson’s beautiful artwork which illustrates the scenes that go with
the counting to ten lessons. Her
illustrations are full of life and energy.
They cry out to kids to be active and experience everything that a
child’s life can be.
This is a book that kids will
enjoy and easily relate to. We see them
playing ball, walking and Yo-yo-ing, learning to tie their shoes, watching
nature, going to the park, playing with puppies, visiting the zoo, shopping and
cuddling with Mom, wrestling with Dad, and even learning the days of the week. It’s a joyful comment on the different kinds
of fun children can have everywhere they are
-- as long as they are open to the possibilities.
