Reviewed by Carla Morris ?Emily’s teacher, Miss Cribbage, says, Every morning we will make a new number friend and write it down in our number books. When we reach one hundred days we will have a party. Emily and her classmates don’t believe they will ever make it to one hundred. Well’s book documents these first hundred days of school. ?Each number from one to one hundred is followed by a fun school activity, counting exercise, song to sing, or short story involving that number. On day two, Emily’s teacher sings Tea for Two. On the eighth day, Emily teaches her little brother Crazy Eights. Thirty-four acorns blow onto Emily’s steps on day thirty-four; she counts them and makes a necklace for Granny. Emily’s First 100 Days is a colorful book children will enjoy reading and counting over and over again.
