5.0 out of 5 stars
A unique counting book!, April 7, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: 1 to 10 and Back Again: A Getty Museum Counting Book (Hardcover)
I loved this counting book that combines the French number names (1-10) with French culture in the form of period furnishings. It is simple enough for a child who knows no French to enjoy the book but if someone is available who can also teach the French aspects, then all the better! It is very difficult to find good books that allow multiculturalism to be a part of a math class for elementary students. I use this with my classes for prospective elementary teachers and they love it!

Excerpt from a recently published review, April 20, 1999

This review is from: 1 to 10 and Back Again: A Getty Museum Counting Book (Hardcover)
ForeWord magazine calls this book "delightful": "the extravagant Louis XIV is the lesson master that showcases the Getty Museum's fine collection of eighteenth century French furniture...This is a companion to the Los Angeles museum's 1997 preschool alphabet book A is for Artist, which showcased its collection of painted masterpieces. Both are excellent guides to introduce children to the beauty of art while practicing basic skills."
