Gingerbread Man Easy Reader Counting Booklet

1-2-3 Count Gingerbread With Me!

"Run! Run; as fast as you can. Try and catch me! I'm the gingerbread man!"

In this sweet counting booklet, the gingerbread man is running past a number of Old Mac Donald's farm animals, as students count backwards from 10 to 0, making it a terrific booklet to practice "blasting off" counting.

This is also a fun way to review subtraction by taking away one and makes a nice independent math center.
