Award-winning creator Selina Alko's One Golden Rule at School is a charming story that's two books in one-a counting book and a school primer for little ones.
Young children experience a day of preschool, beginning with morning meeting, story time, and art projects, then on to outside play, puzzles, and snack and nap time, ending with a heartwarming golden rule.
Set against the familiar and dynamic backdrop of a daily school adventure, this vibrant counting book showcases a diverse and inclusive classroom of learners. The text counters from one to ten and back again while the back matter counts higher to twenty.
"The book effectively highlights each number . . . Materials often found in a classroom (index cards, graph paper, paper clips, etc.) are incorporated throughout Alko's acrylic, watercolor, and pencil illustrations. With its "do unto others" reminder wrapped in a creative counting primer, those looking for an engaging school story can count on this one."
