Exploring Ten Black Dots

Ten Black Dots 
Written and Illustrated by Donald Crews
 Published by Green Willows 1986
ISBN 9780061857799

This book asks its readers what can be done with ten black dots. It begins with one dots and progresses up to ten displaying all the dots can be used. Each dot is incorporated with a fun and age appropriate illustration to get the lesson across.

To me, this seems like an excellent book for teaching children ages four and under how to count. The vivid and fun illustrations show children how to think creatively. It makes learning feel like a game, and  if I were I child I would enjoy it.
