This book is a good follow up to Z is fo Zamboni. It has numbers rather than letters, and the two would make a great gift together. As a stand alone book it is not as good as the Zamboni book though.
This was a gift for my hockey-crazed four-year old nephew, along with the alphabet hockey book. He is always on the go and it is difficult to get him to focus on anything for a long period of time. However, after giving him these books, he immediately sat down and looked through the whole book! I like that it has a short rhyming sentence for the younger child, but there is more information on the side of each page to engage him in when he gets older.
my 2 year old has all of the alphabet ones and loves them. i thought this would be just as great, it skips some numbers as the numbers get higher which irks me. if you are trying to teach counting you cant skip numbers. otherwise it is great about sports information.
I bought this book for my granddaughter who is hockey fan and loves the game. She really was interested in learning her numbers. We are a hockey family and anything that can help my granddaughter is a winner in my book.
I sent this as a gift to my nephew who is 5 years old and a huge hockey fan when he got a hat trick. Although he's not reading yet he loved the book which his Dad and older Brother read to him. This is NOT an ordinary counting book - it contains all sorts of useful information about hockey. It is the type of book that kids and adults will want to refer to more than once. Since this is what I was looking for I'm really happy!
I GOT THIS BOOK FOR CHIRSTMAS FOR OUR 3 YR OLD BUDDING HOCKEY FAN. HE HAS ASKED FOR IT EVERY NIGHT SINCE. IT HAS REALLY HELPED HIM GRASP THE IDEA OF COUNTING THE 20'S AND 30'S AND SO ON AS THEY ARE TALKED ABOUT IN THE BOOK. ONE PAGE HAS 80 JERSEYS WITH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT NUMBERS. MY SON LOVES THIS BOOK AND SO DO I.
It goes from 1-12 then 15 then by 5s and 10s. Ok, I get the 5s and 10s counting, but you can't come up with a hockey stat for 13 and 14? Mine must be missing some pages? Really enjoy the facts and illustrations but was surprised to see the in accurate counting.
The greatest achievements in Hockey are celebrated in this book as well as simple rules. There is additional information on the side bars of each page. And for someone who knows nothing about hockey, this book taught me a lot. It also kept the attention span of my oldest, which is not always easy to do.Mr. Napier put a lot of information into terms most younger kids could understand. I was impressed as well as how interactive the book was as well. I definitely would love to read more of this author's work.
