Count Your Way through Afghanistan

(4) K-3 Count Your Way series. Illustrated by Megan Moore. After brief introductions, the authors translate the numbers one through ten, including culturally relevant but randomly presented items: "Four women wear burkas"; "Ten wrestlers train together." Each spread includes a colorful if amateurish painting as backdrop in addition to the Arabic numeral, the numeral notation and pronunciation in Pashto (Afghanistan) or Farsi (Iran), and an explanatory paragraph. Review covers these Count Your Way titles: Count Your Way through Afghanistan and Count Your Way through Iran.
