Staff Pick
This is the cutest children's picture book I've seen in a while. The illustrations are irresistible, and (somehow) the author makes you feel like you are learning fundamental math concepts. I recommend this adorable book to almost everyone I see. Recommended By Connor M., Powells.com
Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
One cat sleeps. Two cats play. Three cats stack
Stack the Cats is a charming book about counting and organizing cats in various formations. But when the cats decide to go their own way--as cats often will--it's time to count down until there's only one sweet cat left. Counting forward and backward, understanding when there are more or fewer of something, and grouping and recognizing the number of items in a group are key early-math skills for toddlers, making Stack the Cats as developmentally sound as it is ridiculously adorable.
