What's Inside

Children who are ready for simple counting practice will fit this book well, especially during winter or a snow day. Read it when you want a short math story with a seasonal theme.

There are ten snowmen, but they keep disappearing. As you read, children count and count backward to find how many snowmen are left. That steady pattern helps them practice number order and careful counting.

This book works well for preschool, kindergarten, and early first-grade math talk. It also gives children a chance to use snowman words and think about what it means for something to be gone.
