Toes, Teeth, and Tentacles: A Curious Counting Book
Steve Jenkins, Robin Page
This nonfiction counting book uses unusual animal and insect body features to explore numbers in nature. It moves from one through ten, pairing each number with creature characteristics such as ears, hearts, teeth, eyes, spines, and tentacles. Examples include the praying mantis’s single ear and a nautilus with ninety retractable tentacles. Later pages extend to larger numbers, and a visual index provides further details about each animal’s size, range, and diet.
