12 Ways to Get to 11


12 Ways to Get to 11 by Eve Merriam, illustrated by Bernie Karlin is a fun book that helps children think of different ways to get to eleven by using different amounts of objects. One example from the book of this is "Pick up nine pinecones from the forest floor and two acorns". This book helps count all together as well as adding. I think that children from 3 to in 3rd grade could read this book. The pictures help show animals that live near other animals as well as natural habitats. For example on one page there are frogs and turtles together at a pond. I think this book can be read just for fun as well as educational. The cover has a hen with 11 chicks and so does the last page of the book.
