Emily's First 100 Days of School by Rosemary Wells

Reading Emily's First 100 Days of School as a class or at home provides a wonderful way to transition into and celebrate the start of the school year. In addition to being instructive and lots of fun, the book features Wells' ever- appealing artwork. For the number eight, for example, eight cards illustrate a game of crazy eights the little rabbit Emily teaches her younger brother the numbers 30 and 31 become part of her teacher's lesson on the number of days in a month 35 represents the 35 centino stamp on a postcard from Costa Rica 67 is her street address 94 is the number of rings and age of an old tree that fell down in their back yard and 100, well, that's her surprise!

I think Emily's First 100 Days of School is a great counting and number concept book and is a wonderful choice, too, for all those little collectors out there! Rosemary Wells makes numbers interesting, relevant and dynamic in a book on the first 100 days of school. 2008 brings Otto Runs For President, followed by Yoko Writes Her Name, scheduled to be published in July. Also that year she published Red Moon at Sharpsburg, a historical novel featuring a young girl in the American Civil War. In April 2007, her children's book The Gulps featuring illustrations by Marc Brown was released. She has also written Noisy Nora, Yoko, Voyage to the Bunny Planet series, a Christmas Book called Morris's Disappearing Bag and a collected book of illustrations of Rodgers and Hammerstein songs. Her West Highland Terriers Lucy and Snowy have also worked their way into her books, as McDuff and insight for other characters. She gets the inspiration for Max and Ruby from her two daughters and the experiences they have with friends and school. Rosemary Wells is the author of a number of popular children's books, most notably the Max and Ruby series which follows the everyday adventures of sibling bunnies - curious three year old Max and bossy seven year old Ruby. Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
