Amanda Bean loves to count everything, from the books in the library to the popcorn in her bowl. If only she could count faster! Her teacher tries to persuade her of the virtues of multiplication, but Amanda remains unconvinced--until she has an amazing dream. Amanda loves to count everything, but not until she has an amazing dream does she finally realize that being able to multiply will help her count things faster.

This story is a great way to introduce the concept of multiplication. Resources are below linked with the story.

The Great Pet Sale.

Thanks to Aimee Middleton (@AimeeSarah87) for pointing me in the direction of these two great stories (One is a Snail Ten is a Crab is below).The sign in the pet shop window says "Everything must go". "Everything" refers to an incredible assortment of animals from tiny terrapin at two pence each to a great big dragon for 25 pence. There's also a one-whiskered rat, a bargain for only a penny, who is determined to be bought.
There are resources below to support learning with this lovely book.

One is a Snail Ten is a Crab.

If one is a snail, and two is a person... we must be counting by feet! Children will love this hilariously illustrated introduction to simple counting and multiplication with big feet and small - on people and spiders, dogs and insects, snails and crabs - from one to one hundred. The video above is a great way to introduce the story to children and resources are available above to help support this story.

We all Went on Safari: A Counting Journey.

Join Arusha, Mosi, Tumpe and their Maasai friends as they set out on a counting journey through the grasslands of Tanzania. Along the way, the children encounter all sorts of animals including elephants, lions and monkeys, while counting from one to ten in both English and Swahili. This story is great fro younger children and covers numeracy, MFL and different cultures.
