Numbers are my friends!

Numbers are my family!

And learning their names is “funtastic”!

 

Finally, after quietly observing for hundreds of years, Numbers have arisen and have come to the aid of thousands and millions of children who need help learning their numbers 0-10. Their mission? To help children connect their number names to the correct number symbol! Too many times have they seen children confused, sad, discouraged, and frustrated when faced with this momentous challenge. Too often have they seen parents wring their hands, scratch their heads, and, in desperation, stick numbers everywhere hoping that will work. They even saw a parent shout at their child for not knowing his numbers! Jumping numerals!!! Numbers could not stay put any longer. Jingling a story that will make them be all smiles, they have come to the rescue of downcast children and crying parents.  Truly, what could be nestled inside The Number Story?

 

The Number Story 1 and 2 is the first book in the educational-fiction Number Story series. Children and parents praise The Number Story as being inspirational, clever, fun, enjoyable, creative, beautiful, and sweet. A 2016 Bronze Medal Winner of the Wishing Shelf Book Award in England, this little book is loved for its creative brilliance and childlike simplicity. If you like your children to learn numbers smiling, you would love Miss Anna’s The Number Story series. Buy the book and discover the story the Numbers have written within its pages.

• In The Number Story 2, Numbers introduce children to the next step of number learning: counting. Still donning on their specific attires, Numbers ease children into the 1-to1 correspondence of counting--Numbers are used for counting.

“A very clever and fun way to help children to remember numbers. Highly recommended!”

-  2016 Wishing Shelf Book Award Review

 

“I am a teacher teaching both kindergarteners and first grade students. I introduced this book “The Number Story” to my students and found they really enjoy reading it. As matter of fact, they even were chanting some of the phrases from this book. This book made my job much easier.”

-  Carol G., Teacher, Oregon

 

“For a child, the best form of gaining knowledge is through discovery. Through this book on numbers, children’s eyes will be open to discover the numbers, their names, and the way to recognize it. Children are visual, and this book will encourage children to enjoy learning their numbers.”

 

-  Kathy H., Educator and Lawyer at Apple, California

 

“This is one of the most creative books on teaching numbers I've encountered. I can see that the author took time to creatively present the stories of each number. This book does more than teaching numbers. It introduces children to a book that is beautifully written and yet simple and fun enough for young toddlers to enjoy! Outstanding!!!”

 

-  Joanne W., Teacher, Missouri

 

“A very sweet book. The colourful illustrations help a lot to make it accessible to younger readers. The rhyming also helps.”

 

 

-  Primary school teacher, aged 47

 

 

 

“Worked well with my younger children (3 – 4 yr olds). They loved the drawings. ‘Eight is rollercoaster rails’ seemed to be the favourite. Perhaps suggested lesson plans might be helpful to put in the back. Also, the author could offer cards

to help the children learn the different numbers.”

 

-  Teacher, aged 29

 

 

 

‘So many fun things for children to enjoy, all helping to encourage them to learn to count. Good balance of empty space and illustration. Also, not too long so the child is not overwhelmed.’

-  Primary school teacher and literacy coordinator, aged 56

 

 

‘My children loved this little book.’

 

-  Parent, aged 36

 

"I very much enjoyed this short book on numbers. I worked with it for a lesson with two five year old boys, and they seemed to love it. They liked that the numbers often had eyes and mouths and looked like real book characters; and they all loved the fire truck and the rollercoaster rails on number eight. I would happily have this book in the school library or on the shelf in the classroom."
