This lyrical exploration of numerical sets invites interaction–“What in the world comes one by one?” –allowing the reader to pause and wait for answers before turning the page: “ A nose. A mouth. The moon.” “What in the world comes two by two?” Children will think of many things before the turn of the page reveals the rhyming response, “A pair of birds with wings of blue.” With a repetitive refrain going up to ten and then the final page asking, “And what comes in sets too big to count,” the child is introduced to the mathematical language of sets. Gorgeous illustrations and the invitation to contemplate the questions make for a stellar read aloud in k-3 math classes. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I found that Nancy Raines Day's poetic narrative read quite well, and think that this would make a good story-hour selection, with the right audience. The artwork by Kurt Cyrus, although created digitally, has a certain stylized collage-art feel to it, and was really quite lovely. I liked the use of color to communicate the different times of day, and thought the depiction of the various creatures being mentioned was rather appealing. Recommended to anyone looking for numbers and/or counting books that are a little different, or for children's books that look at nature, or at the mathematical concept of sets. ( )
