1 Big Salad: A Delicious Counting BookJuana MedinaThis counting book moves from one to ten by turning salad ingredients into animals. An avocado becomes a deer, radishes become mice, peppers become monkeys, and carrots become horses. Each new group adds another number and another playful food-animal image. The accumulating ingredients ultimately belong together in a single large salad. Pictures pair familiar produce with animal forms as the sequence advances through the numbers, making counting and food the central ideas of the book.Concept BooksOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
