day in the life of two friends as they go to the park and share a pastry, diverse picture book counting friendship / toddlers and preschoolersmos, and up
book prominently features diverse characters: Yes, one of the two main characters is an AfricanAmerican girl the other, Caucasian, girl can be interpreted as her best friend or possibly an adopted sister they sleep in the same bed at the endmore likely they are just having a sleepover, but I would let the kids decide.
book would work for toddler storytime or preschool storytime, Some of the countable images are small, and there is a lot more detail present for oneonone sharing, but the text is brief and rhymic, and this could work for a toddler or preschool storytime.
Book works with "Counting" theme, Yes, the repetition ofs ands occurs throughout the entire book, but there is also a friendship storyline told through that repetition.
Note that it only mentions ones and twos, but if you are sharing this with a small group you could take the opportunities to count other, more numerous objects if the children are already fairly well versed in their numbers.
Marthe Jocelyns ability to present importanttolearn concepts to the very young has garnered accolades from around the world, Ones and Twos is her first book collaboration with her nineteenyearold art student daughter, Nell, and, together, they explore numeracy, sorting, and pairing.
Each brightly illustrated page invites children to identify familiar objects ranging from kites to socks, from one nest to the two birds sitting in it.
Ones and Twos gives little toddlers and their caregivers much to discuss and to enjoy together, and it introduces an exciting new creative team.
A simple, rhyming text follows, "one bird, two eggs" and "One girl, two legs" through a day of play in the park.
Children will be able to spy many other one and two combinations in addition to those mentioned in the text.
Though the concept is simple, the collage illustrations are pretty detailed, so these can be explored in more detail through one on one sharing.
A counting book, but only for the numbers one and two, The simple text and storyline make it great for younger audiences, This would also be great as a one on one read, where you could spend more time investigating the detailed illustrations.
Follow two little girls through their day as well as a mother robin and her two eggs,
The illustrations are done in collage,
storytime theme: Ones amp Twos
ed from a library copy, Very cute basic counting book
A unique counting book in that two is the highest number, but for toddlers and babies, that's just about perfect.
As they get better at recognizing ones and two, they can point out single items and coupled items in the illustrations but not mentioned in the text.
I really liked the collage artwork, Ones and twos by Marthe Jocelyn is an overall good book, I give this book a three rating because I believe that the illustrations were way too loud, There is too much going on within the pages for young readers to really pay attention, On the contrary as a read aloud for kindergartner or first graders I could ask them how many of something they see on the page.
The story is about two girls walking around during the day counting ones and twos of everything, I love the interracial friendship that teaches students they have something in common with everyone, Thus begins Ones and Twos, a most creative book that explores the relationship between singles and doubles in a delightful and engaging manner.
The story centres around a day in the lives of two young girls and a nesting robin as they share a special time in a neighbourhood park.
Each page extends an invitation for readers to sort and pair objects, not only those arranged within the main illustrations but also items placed inside the thematic borders running along the bottom of each page.
Subjects explored include food, clothing, sports equipment, plants, insects and more,
Marthe Jocelyn and her daughter, Nell Jocelyn, have collaborated to create a spirited and stimulating book for young children.
Their brief rhyming text leads readers to examine the bright, busy illustrations made up of collages consisting of newspaper, string, paper, fabric and other materials.
Who knew that sorting could be so much fun
Children will return to this book not once, not twice, but on many occasions to fully appreciate its offerings.
One book, two eyes and infinite enjoyment!

No.This would be good for two to three year olds the pairing of one object of a kind, with another to make two.
Nice repetition, engaging pictures. We don't usually think of just one vs, two, but it's an important numeracy concept to work on and this is a nice introduction, Cute counting book. The collage illustrations are gorgeous with a lot of detail that will make reading and looking at the pictures enjoyable every time.
Mama read this to me before bed, I got to help tell the story by noticing what was in the pictures, Cute book about things that come in ones and twos, with a cute little story, I usually like the collage art technique but this is just over kill, Too much pattern, too much detail, . just too much.
The story is cute, I like the concept ofandand the rhymes are okay but I can't rave about this one.
. . Sorry Two girls follow a bird through the park on a day counted off by ones and twos,
Bright colors and interesting textures make the paper cutout illustrations very visually appealing, Little eyes will want to linger over each spread, poring over details, The different patterns are mesmerizing, and the tiny pictures lined up beneath the text are reminiscent of "I Spy" and could easily lend themselves to an impromptu game.
The pictures don't necessarily do much to illustrate the concept of "one" or "two," which makes this ineffective as a counting book, but they are the Ones and Twos's best feature overall.
The text is very basic, and thought it rhymes, it still feels stilted, as thought it never quite comes out with what it means to say.
There does seem to be an overarching plot to the story, but not every line contributes to this arc, so some pages are a bit out of place and confusing.
Babies will like to look at the pictures, especially if the book is being shared oneonone in a lap, but the text is really more appropriate for toddlers or even preschoolers.
It might pair well with One Two One Two, a rhyme about body parts that come in pairs, but it wouldn't be my first choice to share in story time.
Beware giving this to parents looking for counting books this probably won't satisfy what most people are looking for in terms of a book that explicitly teaches numbers.
It does portray a friendship between two girls from different racial backgrounds, making it a possible suggestion for teachers looking for simple stories featuring diversity.
Otherwise, it's hard to imagine who exactly would be the ideal audience for this book, Cute! Nice artwork. Canadian bornbooks published for young readers Canadian bornbooks published for young readers" sitelink,
