What are some books about math I can read with my child?

In addition to the books included in You Can Count on Mother Goose, we have compiled a book list of great books for babies and toddlers (0-3 years) and great books for preschoolers (3-5 years old). You can also search our picture book database, refining your research by keyword subject.

Explore mathematics with your child by reading together:

• Borrow or buy books that have explicit math content: measuring, counting, etc.
• Read books that have repeated sequences of events, then point out the events and make predictions with your child: what happens next?
• Look for math words and concepts in all picture books.
• Make connections between shapes in books and shapes in the environment.
• Talk about the problems book characters are solving. Brainstorm other suggestions for solving these problems.
