<br/><br/> A counting book depicting the growth in a village and surrounding countryside during twelve months.  With Anno's Counting Book, the creator of the brilliantly inventive Anno's Alphabet invites young readers on another stimulating adventure of the imagination this time into the world of numbers and counting.<br/><br/>Gentle watercolor pictures show a landscape changing through the various times of day and the turning seasons, months and years, and the activities of the people and animals who come to live there. But the seemingly simple plan of the book is deceptive: look more carefully and you will see one-to-one correspondences; groups and sets; scales and tabulations; changes over time periods; and many other mathematical relationships as they occur in natural, everyday living. The reader is subtly led to see and understand the real meaning of numbers.  "Introduces counting and number systems by showing mathematical relationships in nature"--Provided by publisher.
