Numbers, Colors, & Shapes


Numbers
Thomas Kinkade
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
2001

                        Thomas Kinkade is a famous artist who decided to write a few Children's books. (I think to help his own children) and in his art he always puts a N in honor of his wife, Nanette. He has also written, shapes & colors (featured below).
                   In this book it goes through numbers 1-10 and shows something with each number. I think I would teach this book by helping each child learn about numbers. I would recommend this for a child just learning how to count, and teach him/her a concept to go with each. I think it helps a child to understand numbers a bit better and why they are the way they are.




Colors

                 About the author featured above.
                This book helps children to associate each color with something they see in the outside world. It also talks about the different seasons and the colors associated with them. I think this is a good book for younger ages 5 & under. I might use this book to ask Children to find objects that are the colors. It would be helpful when the child is first learning colors.



Shapes
Thomas Kinkade
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
2001

                  About the author featured above.
                  This book shows all the different shapes and associates them with outside/ around the house things. This would help children to identify shapes around the town too. For example: a stop sign being an octagon. I think this book is also good for younger ages. It will help a child to learn shapes before attending school.
