Hardworking Puppies

Reiser, L. (2006). Hardworking Puppies. Lynn Reiser. Boston, Massachusetts: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Annotation: This is an adorable counting book for children. There are ten puppies that are all different and as the book counts down from 10 to 0, all of the puppies end up getting paired with humans with certain jobs like a firefighter, a circus performer, etc.

Readers who would like this: This book would be a cute one for a teacher to have in her classroom as well as a great book for parents to work on their kids counting.

Grade Level: Pre K-1st

Genre: Childrens counting book

Ratings/Response: I give this book a 4. I love the illustrations and the way the book doesn't start at zero and count up to ten, but it starts at ten and counts down to zero. It allows children to learn how to count forwards and backwards.
