Can You Count Ten Toes?: Count to 10 in 10 Different Languages

As a preschool teacher, I use this book constantly in my classroom to teach the children to teach the children to count in their native languages. As a result, the children share each others' cultures as well as master a few words in a foreign language. This book contains the numeric symbol, the written word, and the pronunciation, which is very helpful and simple. Each month, the children in my class learn to count in a different language, and this book contains most of the languages that my children speak, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, French, and Spanish. I love this book so much that I'm buying a new copy because the book has been misplaced.

Although it says for ages 4-8 my 2 year old adores this book and has (after only one week) completely memorized the Japanese, French, and Russian sections. In my opinion, toddlers as well as older children would benefit from this book.

My children love this book! They are excited about learning the different languages and ask for things using the numbers they have learned. Evans has done a great job with the difficult pronunciations and Roche's illustrations are fun.
