With colorful illustrations, Henkes uses elephants to teach counting and preposition skills to readers. I love the pastel colors for the elephants, and this also offers a way to explore true facts about elephants. Another great book by Henkes. Letter P for #BBRC #A2Z

This RF picture book by Kevin Henkes is great for early readers. The story goes over numbers, directions and other adjectives as the elephants march. It could be used for a RA. https://b0f646cfbd7462424f7a-f9758a43fb7c33cc8adda0fd36101899.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.co... I love the ‘Make it Count‘ activity included in this site. This allows students to illustrate their own counting pages. This will cover ESOL 4 and UDL 2.4

carlenerubin I have never heard of this book before but will definitely be adding it to my classroom library! I am doing my internship in K and this will be perfect to use with them! I love your link and it will pair very nicely with the book! Thanks for the great book suggestion! 5y

DrSpalding This is an excellent book to include in your math curriculum. Looking at the front cover this would not be considered realistic… What genre would it be? 5y
