This beautifully illustrated book uses counting and rhyme to tell a story about friends. Frog, a small creature with a big heart, learns the true meaning of friendship when he spends a few happy hours with his pals. Frog sits by himself on a log in the pond, lonely for some company. One by one, his friends join him for an afternoon of fun. Then, one by one, they leave as the day draws to an end. Although Frog is alone again, he is happy because he knows that good friends are always nearby. Counting on Friends teaches science, math and social skills. Children add and subtract the numbers one to five as each friend arrives and departs. At the end of the story, readers play a Counting Game where they look for groups of five in each illustration. From cover to cover, Counting on Friends makes learning fun!
