Counting Crows by Kathi Appelt {Giveaway Winner Announced}

June 30, 2015 by Molly

One Cat counts twelve crows’ twelve tails…

What happens when twelve hungry crows find a bit of mischief, and a mischievous cat finds them? Probably not what you think!
This summer, little ones can check out Counting Crows by Kathi Appelt to sharpen their counting and reading skills, and go on a jazzy adventure with these silly birds as they search for food. 



CLICK HERE to download and print a fun and creative activity kit for the kids.

My little guy (going into second grade) enjoyed the printouts as much as the story. At his reading level, he was able to breeze through the rhyming words, where younger readers (preK to 1st) will be able to take a little more time, sound out the words, and enjoy the rhymes, illustration, and funny story. It’s a great book for elementary students to read out-loud to younger non-readers. 


This book and activity kit are so enjoyable, kids won’t even know they’re spending their precious “summer vacation” away from school doing something educational, but parents can give themselves a big pat on the back for sneaking in a bit of learning during these hot months! 

Enter to win your own copy of Counting Crows by Kathi Appelt

    My grandson isn't quite old enough to read yet but he loves books and will even sit by himself and look at the pages. His favorite Summer time activity is being in the pool. Thank-you. 🙂

    We love visiting our local public library in the summer, and getting new books, videos, and audiobooks to enjoy. The email that I check most often is fossil316@aol.com

    Now that my kids are teenagers, it is impossible to have them read. They have to read for school and think that is all they need. Thank you
