Since 1961, Ten
Apples up on Top has been helping preschoolers learn to count
and read simultaneously. Simple illustrations and even simpler
rhymes make this apple-balancing competition between a dog, a
tiger, and a lion a fun, easy place to practice sight words and
phonics. Siblings can even take turns reading phrases like "Seven
apples up on top. I am so good they will not drop." The inevitable
tumbling crash is a great climax for busy toddlers to enjoy, and
parents
內容簡介:
A lion, a dog, and a tiger are having a contest--can they get
ten apples
piled up on top of their heads? You better believe it! This first
counting book
works as a teaching tool as well as a funny story.
