Dillon, L & D. Dillon. (2007). Mother Goose: Numbers on the Loose. Orlando, FL: Harcourt Books.
Brief Annotation: This book helps children count and recognize the numbers mentioned in several familiar nursery rhymes from Baa, baa, black sheep to 2 blackbirds named Jack and Jill. Instead of counting from 1-20 in order, the book introduces numbers as they come up in the rhymes.
Genre: Poetry
Grade Level: Pre-K-K
Readers who will like this: Readers who are learning about numbers and learning to count, enjoy Mother Goose, and Colorful, entertaining illustrations.
Response/Rating (1-4): 4. This is a creative book that highlights the numbers in classic nursery rhymes. Though this book does not always emphasize the order of the numbers, it challenges children to process numbers as they appear in the stories.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Do you know how to count from 1-20? Do you know that there are numbers in Mother Goose nursery rhymes?
