What can you do with ten black dots? One dot can make a sun, two dots can make the eyes of a fox, and three dots can make a snowman's face. And that's just the beginning in this unique counting book! Children will develop visual learning skills, explore creativity, and practice counting numbers, all in one deceptively simple—and fun!—picture book. A proven favorite at home and in the preschool classroom. Review: 10 out of 10 - One of my favorite books. Simple and lots of craft ideas to go with it. The book is a nice paperback. It is easy to read and keeps those preschoolers engaged. Review: Great book. One of my son's favorites. - This is a great counting book for any toddler and small child. Going from one to ten, Mr. Crews uses black dots to represent things children can see day-to-day. My 2-yr-old found this book at our local library. He wanted to read it so often that I bought a copy for home. Now we read it almost every day & he never seems to get bored. This is an older book & the pictures/images reflect this-- the (obsolete) radio with four black dots for its knobs is an example. However, it still resonates with children and my son enjoys each page. His favorite page has the six marbles in a person's hands. I can't turn the page until he has put his hands on the pages to pretend he's holding the marbles as well. He also loves the last page with ten balloons flying away after being stuck in a tree. He insists on counting all ten balloons before we turn the page. The end of the book "reviews" the dots from one to ten and is a nice way to review counting from one to ten and beyond. The book is great for counting as well as early reading. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,156 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Children's Math Fiction #21 in Children's Art Fiction #429 in Children's School Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,373 Reviews | ## Images ![Ten Black Dots: A Creative Counting Story About Shapes and Imagination for Children (Ages 4–8) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810dObl0W8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10 out of 10 *by S***0 on July 4, 2025* One of my favorite books.
