Tracks Count: A Guide to Counting Animal Prints

Tracks Count is also “A Little Naturalist” book and as such combines basic counting skills with animals and their tracks.  The perfect audience for this book are outdoorsy people who hike a lot and those who often frequent zoos.  I wish that the animals were all animals that were native to our area so that there might be some real possibility of seeing such tracks.  The illustrations are lovely and the thoughtfulness of choosing sepia tones for the animal pictures and a soft, mossy green for the text added to the outdoor feel of the book.  I wish a small illustration had been added to the animal facts at the end of the book so I know which animal I’m reading about.
