100 Days of School

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Beth Griffis Johnson. A variation on traditional counting-book fare shows that different combinations--10 children's toes, 99 polka dots plus one more, and so on--can all yield 100. The text's use of humor will leave many young readers blissfully unaware that they are beefing up their skip-counting and mental math skills. The rhyming text is somewhat awkward, but friendly illustrations further convey the message that math is fun.
