This is a different type of counting book in that the reader counts bugs and learns about plants. From katydids , dragonflies,to walking sticks, each count of ten is on a two page spread and introduces the reader to both insects and the plants they are drawn to. By the time the reader reaches the end of the book- they have counted 100 bugs and learned the different combinations that add up to ten.The large,  bright illustrations with lots to see will catch the attention of all who open the book. Combine this  with a rhyming text and you have  STEAM at its best: seek and find, math and science. This can be used as a “seek and find” lap read for one or a story time  selection to share.  Add this to your math curriculum, or a study of plants and insects.
