NAPPA Silver Award Winner
"Stylish silkscreenlike illustrations and opportunities for both
counting and guessing what happens next should keep copies of this
chunky book well-loved." ―Publishers Weekly
Learning to count is as easy as 1, 2, 3 in this fun addition to the
Abrams Block Book series! Young readers will explore the joy of numbers
in an exciting and unique way, from 1 right up to 100.
Perfect for little hands, Countablock features thick pages cut into
the shape of each numeral, creating a peek-through guessing game around
the number form itself. One acorn becomes . . . one oak tree! From
snowmen to puddles and eggs to chicks, quantities are illustrated twice:
both before and after their "transformations."
As children interact with the pages, they will familiarize themselves
not only with the numbers 1-100 and associated quantities, but with each
numeral's physicality--angles, holes, and curves, both front and back.
Numerals include 1-10, and 20-100 counted by tens for easier
understanding.
Like other books in the Block Book series such as Alphablock,
Cityblock, Dinoblock, and Buildablock, Countablock features
die-cuts on every spread. In addition, this book ends with two special
pages that fold out to reveal a grand finale illustration of 100 puzzle
pieces.
With bright, animated, retro-inspired artwork by Peski Studio, this
fresh take on counting encourages readers to manipulate numbers in a
whole new way. Your child will have so much fun reading this book, they
won't realize that learning to count to 100 is part of their education!
