Book excerpt: Skills dealing with counting and cardinality provide essential foundations for beginning math students. Readers learn important topics, such as counting from 1 to 10, comparing numbers, answering “how many?” questions, counting by 10s, and writing numbers. Each topic is explained in detail using accessible text and colorful images to help readers independently explore these core math concepts. Kaylee’s adventures in the kitchen help readers see how cooking can be a way to learn valuable counting skills. This title, which adheres to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, addresses standard K.CC.A.2. This book should be paired with "Cooking with My Dad" (9781477719978) from the InfoMax Math Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
