What's Inside
For children who are learning to count by 5s, this short math book gives them a clear pattern to follow. It also works well for quick practice at home, in small groups, or during a math warm-up.
The text invites children to count with five rabbits and to read the book again and again. As they do, they practice skip counting by 5s and build math fluency in a simple, repeatable way.
Teachers, parents, and caregivers can use it with kindergarten, first grade, or second grade children who are ready for extra counting practice. The seasonal category also makes it a nice fit for a themed math read-aloud.
