With each turn of the page, the reader counts crows while the hungry crows count their many snacks. The wonderful, whimsical illustrations by Rob Dunlavey complete the counting visuals throughout this rhyming, rhythmic text full of alliteration, interjections and rich vocabulary! The number twelve, a dozen, is the counting goal as it is seen in sets of three, as well as by its relationship to ten. This amazing early childhood math concept book aptly titled Counting Crows is another ingenious work of the award winning author, Kathi Appelt, who keeps the readers’ interest piqued down to the last counting moment! Who is counting the crows in the end?
