Welcome to: A Book or Two: Children's Literature Reviews, a blog site that offers information on new, classic, and favorite children's literature, reviewed by university professors, classroom teachers, librarians, and those studying to become teachers. We hope you will find "just the right book" to share with others. Our goal is to keep the site updated with information about children's authors, book awards, and new releases. Each entry will include the book cover picture, a brief overview, bibliographic information, and suggested uses for families, librarians, and teachers. We will categorize books in several different ways, to facilitate searching.

Author: Vic Parker      Illustrator: Emily Bolam
Copyright: 1996          Genre: Poetry
Reading level: 3-7yrs
Book Description:  I love this story, because the rhyming words are fun to read. I can see my students getting into the rhythm and having a great time reading the story. The characters in the book are singing and dancing. The author gives a great description of what each character is doing and the illustrator gives the audience bright and vibrant pictures. The book addresses numbers one through ten, a million, and a billion.    
Integrated Activity: (1st grade) Give each student a number card and while you read the story if they hear their number the student is to hold up their number card and dance along with the character in the book.
