Birthdays Count, for emergent and beginning readers, integrates rhyming, counting, and simple math, while celebrating that special day. It's a birthday party in a book with cake, presents, singing, and the gift of family and friends. At the end of the book a Word List introduces vocabulary of numeration, basic body parts, family relatives and community members. Early readers are appreciated and celebrated, especially if they are now 4, 5, 6, or 7. Birthdays Count is part of the PreK-3 series Motivated 2 Read.
