Larger Numbers and Place Value

Out for the Count by Kathryn Cave and Chris Riddell
Frances Lincoln
When Tom can't sleep, he tries counting sheep but the sheep take him to another world where he meets tigers, pirates and other hazards in large numbers. The illustrations are wonderful - huge spreads with gorgeous animals and an inset picture with shadow creatures which are grouped in tens to make counting easier. A marvellous book which practices place value in a rhyming text which is a delight to read aloud. Children will love it. Ages 4-8
Number range 12, 23, 36, 45, 54, 61, 70, 88 and 97
