Chicka Chicka 123
By: Bill Martin Jr., Michael Sampson, and Lois Ehlert
The numbers are going up to the top of the apple tree. They range from 1 to 20 at the beginning, and then begin counting by tens. After 90, 99 is used, but zero is left out; it's the only one left at the bottom of the tree. Then, bees come up to the tree. While zero runs and gets behind the tree, the bee yells to the numbers in the tree, and they fall out; they end up falling out backward and the book starts counting backward. Zero goes to the top and is next to ten, so they become 100.
This is a way for children to remember their numbers because the style of the book uses rhyming. It also has a story to it, so it's not just simply counting numbers. The numbers are counted in reverse as well.

A Very Improbable Story: A Math Adventure
By: Edward Einhorn
Illustrated by: Adam Gustavson
Ethan was a boy who, one morning, had a cat on his head when he woke up. He did have a cat, which was named Snowy, but it wasn't on his head. This new cat's name was Odds, and it could talk. It told Ethan to play a probability game with it. Until Ethan could win, the cat claimed that it wouldn't remove itself from his head. Ethan was on a time limit because he had an upcoming soccer game. The cat made him do various probability challenges, like picking two of the same socks out of 20 total and not being able to look while choosing a dime from his change stash. He ends up not being too successful. Finally, Ethan did win a challenge and could go to his soccer game without the fear of having the cat still on his head.
This book's main focus is on probability. This would be a good book for kids who may be struggling with this concept and may need to look at math in a different way. Seeing probability in pictures and a story can enable them to understand it more through a new mode of learning.
