Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4–Franco combines her love for language and numbers in this collection that celebrates all things 100. Poems ranging in size, scope, and subject matter are decorated with Salerno's joyful gouache illustrations. Each poem works in the triple digit number, such as "100 Inches Tall" in which a girl speculates about the pros and cons of being so tall. Sometimes Franco experiments with different types of poems, such as "Haiku," comprised of four stanzas, each an independent haiku as well. "One hundred acorns/buried all over the yard–/squirrel's autumn chores." Students will enjoy sharing a special poem each day to help them count down to the 100th day of school. Pair this title with Rosemary Wells's Emily's First 100 Days of School (Hyperion, 1999) for a perfect score.–Lisa Gangemi Kropp, Middle Country Public Library, Centereach, NY

K-Gr. 2. Classes gearing up for 100th day celebrations will delight in this collection of 100 poems that could be shared one-a-day. Some poems include whimsical arithmetic exercises, such as the numbered list in "100 Picnic Pests" that invites children to add insects or several poems that encourage counting to 100 by 10s and 20s. Other selections are atmospheric scenes that make only a passing reference to 100: "the one hundred little parachutes" that blow off a dandelion, for instance. Children with beginning-of-the-year jitters will appreciate the warm opening poem, which offers a reassuring list of the familiar activities that will make up the first 100 days. Salerno, who also illustrated Franco's Mathematickels (2003), contributes stylish, cheerful gouache paintings, which, while mostly too small to be easily viewed by groups, extend the poems' lighthearted moods. Pair this with Rosemary Wells' Emily's First 100 Days of School (2000) to help kids prepare for the big countdown. Gillian Engberg
