The only way I imagine this book being interesting is if I am changing the intonation of my voice. It at least keeps the children in suspense as they do not know what is next. ( )

Our class enjoyed the predictable pattern that this counting book included. We thought the end pages were colorful and an excellent addition supporting the books concept of counting to 100. We found the questions and riddles to be fun while keeping us on our toes! ( )

A fun way to get students to think about 100 and the 100th day of school. The book has many teachable math moments that invite children to chime in and do math and poetry without realizing they are practicing skills. ( )

Summary:
This book is all about ways to get 100 of something. It starts with "if you go to school for 95 days and then 5 more you get what? (how cool) smarter and smarter and 100 days of school." Another that it says is "if 10 tired children all take off their shoes, what do you get? lots of barefeet. And (I suppose) 100 toes. The book goes on to give more neat examples.

Personal Reaction:
I loved this book. It was neat the way they came up with the different situation on how to count to 100. I would read this to any child and I think they would enjoy it.

Classroom Extension:
1. As a class we would come up with our own rhymes for 100.
2. I could also give the students a certain number and they could come up with their own rhyme and then we could all share them with the class.

This is a very cute book that teaches children how to count to 100. The funny rhymes in the book show different ways to count to 100, whether it be with a clown's nose or a piggy's toes. The illustrations are fun to look at and easy to understand with real world examples. This is a fun, interactive book that works in the basics of counting and adding numbers. Children will forget they are leaning while they manipulate numbers and improve their math skills.
