123 Counting on Community

An adorable picture book with a strong message about the power community has to bring about change for the betterment of everyone. A great book for community, classroom, and school libraries. Colorful images allow for spot the difference challenges as well as discussion about what we as individuals can do to improve the world around us. A great little civics lesson wrapped up in a tiny book!

"123 Counting on Community" by Annemarie Riley Guertin

This is a board book that incorporates learning numbers with a diverse community coming together to clean up a park. The book only included one sentence per page so is very simplistic but it works. The art is colorful and interesting with the numbered subjects being easy to find. I love a book that will make readers aware of these important topics at a young age.

What a wonderful and colourful picture book. From the standpoint of an educator, this book has so much potential to be used in a classroom. It could be used to teach counting, to meet curriculum expectations and teach how to take care of the environment and spaces around us, how to take responsibility in the community, how to work in a team, and so much more. I can already picture reading this in my class and bringing what we learn in the lesson to the schoolyard. I also appreciated the inclusive aspect of this book in its illustrations and characters. Well done to the author and illustrator!
