Title: Ten Black Dots
Author: Donald Crews
Published By: Greenwillow Books
What can I say about this book, it is simple because all you are doing is counting black dots. Black dots on the numbers one to ten, I would have never of thought that this would make sense until I saw the dots themselves make sense, as the objects were named, then as elements in the composition, finally as representing a characteristic quantity. Here they're miscast as enormous seeds, misplaced as portholes on the upper decks of a boat and miscalculated (four) as knobs on a radio (an old-fashioned table model). When I read this to the class I had to explain that this was an old radio. First thing the kids ask was where you put the CD's. I just laughed then explained. It is really a good book.
