Summary: This book uses numbers to describe features uniquely related to America. This book is aimed at a wide variety of ages and teaches kids not only about numbers, but also about the important things in American life that are valued.
Extension Activity: Since this book deals with both numbers and the country we reside in, the extension activity would be for the kids to pick out one interesting place they have been in the U.S. and then to incorporate a number into it. For example; I would draw the number two in bubble letters and then within the number I would draw Disneyland.
