Counting to None
A funny and informative story of the many ways to count to 100.
Harry is excited! Today is the first day at his new job at the Four Color Balloon Factory. Harry loves balloons almost more than anything! When Mr. Huffy, his new boss, tells him to blow up 100 balloons for Mrs. Doopido’s birthday party, Harry can’t wait to get started. But when Harry wants to make sure he has the correct number of balloons for the birthday party, counting the balloons gets confusing. And no matter what he does, the number still comes out wrong. What is the best way to count to 100?
Colorful illustrations and a clever storyline will help young readers figure out what Harry needs to do to solve his math dilemma.
