Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

1 2 3 Make a s'more with me

Elizabeth Gauthier · 2015
72/100
👍 Worth It

A cheerful, rhyming counting book that pairs numerals with the beloved campfire tradition of building s'mores — a clever memory hook that makes the numbers stick. The read-aloud rhythm is solid and the multilingual editions are a genuine classroom bonus. The concept is narrow enough that it won't outlast the counting stage, but for its target age it does exactly what it promises.
