Number 1 Teacher: A School Counting Book

by Steven L. Layne, Deborah Dover Layne (Illustrator)

Overview

A dedicated teacher
is truly number 1—
igniting a desire to learn
and making school great fun.

Teachers love to help children learn. They are good at explaining things and help prepare their students to live and work in the world. Teachers are an important part of the community.

Number 1 Teacher: A School Counting Book is the companion book to the 2005 award-winning title T is for Teachers: A School Alphabet. Written in a two-tier format with rhyming text for beginning readers and detailed expository for older students, Number 1 Teachers shows and tells readers about the 2 poles, the 5 lines on a music staff, gold-rush fever and the 49ers, and the beloved 100th day of school!

Steven L. Layne and Deborah Dover Layne combine their poetry and prose as they count their way through the numbers we associate with school. Illustrator Doris Ettlinger brings vibrant watercolor paintings that serve as the backdrop.

There's one more kind of counting
That we just have to do
Just think—you count on teachers
And teachers count on you!
