One Is a Snail, Ten Is a Crab: A Counting by Feet book that makes learning to count fun for 3-5 year olds

Great teacher buy for early years number work. I use with numicon shapes and print out the different animals to go with them. Works well for small group interventions.

Brilliant book for number work Nursery or primary

Great maths book. Great way of looking at ‘one more’ but also talking simply about a snail having one foot! It’s been perfect for my nursery class, but can imagine being great for reception, and year one also, with its use of counting in 10s, and simple addition.

I teach reception and we use this at school (also in Year 1) the kids love it and it inspires them to really get their teeth into some tricky maths in a really fun way. Great for addition and subtraction and number bonds, as well as independent problem solving. If I could give this more stars I would.

I first heard of this book when I was writing an assignment on teaching mathematical problem solving. I came across and article about children exploring mathematical patterns and learning skills of representation. I had to buy the book. You will love it just to share with a child - but you may also want to use it as a stimulus for numeracy

Bought this for my pre-school children to use not only at story time but to use in small maths groups. Great for thinking about adding and also larger numbers

I read this book to my reception class, perfect for counting, adding, pairs, doubles etc

Am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO delighted with this book. Please can someone translate it into Pashto and / or Arabic also? Beautifully illustrated in full colour, child- friendly, an absolute joy to read to / with young children. A book that teaches ANd entertains. An absolute pleasure. Buy this book!

Bello, pagine grandi, colori brillanti. Letto a scuola con i bambini, una occasione per giocare con i numeri con i miei alunni

As you’d expect, new copy

This is a fun story to use when teaching word problems, for practicing skip counting and for many other uses when teaching math concepts. I loved this book and use it all the time.

Produit conforme à la description, bien emballé et arrivé en très bon état.

This book does a great job using familiar animals (people, crabs, snails, dogs) to count out numbers from small to large, showing how the small numbers make up the big numbers. Colorful, engaging, and a bit silly, with quality math content, especially for a kid who's already into numbers (or crabs?)
