The Blunders: A Counting Catastrophe! (Hardcover)
Key item features
It’s not even lunchtime, and already the ten Blunder children have messed up the laundry, the bathtub, and taking care of the animals. They are driving their mother up the wall. So she sends them out to play with just two rules: keep track of one another and make sure everyone is home by sunset. As the day draws to an end, each Blunder tries counting the others — forward and backward, in English and Spanish, and even by twos and three — but comes up with only nine. Uh-oh! Will their mother forgive the biggest blunder of all? Inspired by a common folktale, Christina Soontornvat shares a humorous story about ten kids who just can’t get things right, while Colin Jack’s adorable artwork lets readers in on the joke that each child is forgetting to count him- or herself.

Counting Fun!
Join the mystery as the Blunders try to figure out what has happened to one of them. Youngsters will have fun reading this humorous story about all of the mix-ups the Blunders get themselves into. Wrapped up in all the hilarity and smiles is a good lesson about counting. Over-sized and hard-backed, this book contains colorful illustrations on every page. Just as medicine goes down better with something sweet, learning is better when it is done in a fun way. This book is a good example of that. Almost without a child knowing it, they will understand the importance of numbers and counting correctly while enjoying this silly story. I recommend this 5-star book to young readers up to 8 years old or to be read to preschoolers. Candlewick Press has provided bookreadingtic with a complimentary copy of, The Blunders, for the purpose of review.
