Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-A clever way to teach children the many ways they can get to 100. Teachers will appreciate the questioning rhymes that illustrate how to count in groups of 1, 5, 10, or 20. "If 20 children each drop 5 papers on the floor, what do you get? 100 papers. And...(I would guess) an awful mess." The pictures feature a multiethnic classroom filled with smiling faces, lots of action, and vibrant color. Some of the illustrations allow children to actually count out the corresponding objects on the page, such as 100 toes or 100 legs on a centipede. The numbers 1 to 100 are printed on the endpapers in colorful blocks, with the objects from the rhymes interspersed throughout. A solid title to read aloud on the 100th day of school-or any other day.

From Kirkus Reviews
100 Days Of School (32 pp.; $21.90; Sept.; 0-7613-1271-4): Readers will want to try the more interesting variations on math Harris has devised, e.g., addition and subtraction using clowns, trains, blackberry pie, and centipedes. Harris demonstrates that numbers can be broken down into recognizable units that can be manipulated and remembered: If ``10 tired children all take off their shoes, what do you get? Lots of bare feet . . . and 100 toes!'' Johnson's brilliant artwork will make children forget they're learning, complementing the whimsical text as it slyly works in the basics. A math-class must, but also at home in story hours. (Picture book. 5-8) -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

By parry@prodigy.net (USA) - See all my reviews

Harris has put the concepts of counting into a truly delightful book for the young reader and teachers of young readers. Each section of the book invites the reader to fill in a conclusion which draws young readers into the book, its bright, attractive pictures, and the idea of being able to count all the way to 100!
