Parents' Corner
Reading Level: Pre-A1 Each page pairs a number with a color, so the book quietly teaches both at once. Point to each car as you count and pause so your child can count with you. When the red car is compared to an apple or the brown cars to chocolate, ask your child to find something in the room with the same color. Building your own train from blocks or boxes and adding one car at a time is a fun follow-up. At ages 0 to 3, counting real objects sticks better than reciting numbers.
