Ten Little Elvi & If Mom Had Three Arms

Do your little ones need help with numbers?

Voila!

So I grabbed these books from the library because they looked like fun.  Not hoping to gain any educational support from them, but it turns out they are both great counting books.  Not lame, here-is-the-number-3-and-oh-look-three-oranges, kind of counting books either!  These are fun, make you laugh, keep your kids interested, counting books!

These both should have probably had their own entry because they are really great but I was too excited to wait and then I didn't want to play favorites so they are debuting on my site together :).  The Ten Little Elvi book is so fun, even for non-Elvis fanatics it is fun.  Laura Henson and Duffy Grooms did an excellent job writing this and Dean Gorissen makes it so entertaining with his lively pictures.

The If Mom Had Three Arms book is very thought provoking for those of us who are continually wishing we had another few arms.  After reading this I've decided two is less freaky looking so I'll stick with two, even if I am less productive this way.  Karen Kaufman Orloff did an excellent job coming up with ways you could use up to TWENTY arms...just in case you ever find yourself in a situation where you have eighteen extra arms and don't know what to do with yourself.  Pete Whitehead makes this a lot of fun with his wild and crazy pictures.  Plus it is fun to hunt for the actual number on each page.

So if you have a hankering for counting, these are the books for you (or your little ones, whoever needs help with the counting the most :)! )
