Always so imaginative with the illustrations. I like the train building from left to right at the bottom so you can remember who has already joined the train.

Signature Carle illustrations--fun, bright and colorful--fill this wordless counting book. Wordless books are a great way to encourage children to think and to practise verbal and language skills: ask questions: what color is the train? What do you think will happen next? which animal is this? etc.

This book counts each train bringing a type of circus animal to the zoo, and represents each number in multiple ways.

Eric Carle style to the capital T of TERRIFIC. Never coming up short of telling such wonderful stories of animals and letters for children to enjoy. Carle allows the children to join him in a numeric (1-10) adventure to the zoo. The graphics are purely all realistic with paint and detail.

In my classroom, I would ask children to cut out pictures of items in quanties according to numbers, 0 to 10, place then separately to make a book and share where they would like to go or where their items will take us. For instance, 0-10 books for a library. 0-10 Animals for the zoo. 0-10 Foods for a garden. ETC....

This is one of Carle's books that are suited more for toddlers than older kids.
There aren't many words, just a count of the various animals on their way to the zoo.
Because of this, and because the book is oversized and hard to read/shelve, it may be better to buy this in board book format - or,

"1, 2, 3 To The Zoo" is a short story with brightly colored illustrations of animals in the zoo. Each page has a different species of zoo animal and adds one more animal with each page. The first page has one animal and the final page has twelve. There is a small train at the bottom of each page
I think the bright colors in the illustrations grab the interest of young children. This would also be a good book to involve the children in counting aloud with the teacher.
This book would be a good resource for very young children learning to count. It could also be utilized when discussing zoo animals.

1,2,3 To The Zoo is a great counting book with wonderful Eric Carle illustrations. The reader takes a tour of the zoo, counting the animals along the way.

This book would be great for children who are learning how to add up to a perfect 10. It is an eloquent but wordless couting book that is full of bright illustraitons!
LibraryThing member bamabreezin4
I liked this book somewhat. It has interesting artwork and is very colorful, which will attract the attention of very young readers, which is the audience to which this book caters. The last page with all the animals in their new homes and people visiting the zoo can be a discussion point.

1,2,3 to the Zoo is a counting book. Each page is dedicated to a different animal. For every number on the page, there are that many animals. There are no words, only pictures and numbers.

In typical Eric Carle style, the painted paper collage illustrations have a depth to them that adds to the repetitive, counting up story-style.

1, 2, 3 To the Zoo by Eric Carle is an illustrated, full-colored yet completely wordless book. In this way it is a straightforward teaching tool, allowing parents and children to count the animals that appear. It is a simple combination of numbers and animals. Thus, it is less advanced than

"1, 2, 3 to the Zoo: A Counting Book" is an early counting book. The counting is done through illustrated animals on a train. The book begins with one elephant and then next page has two hippos and so on until there are ten animals and they get to the zoo. This book is fine for very young children,

but I was not impressed with the content. I was also surprised that as the numbers got higher, it was harder to differentiate between some of the objects (especially the page with nine snakes). Show Less

Eric Carle's 1,2,3 To the Zoo and Pam Munoz Ryan & Jerry Pallotta's The Crayon Counting Book both give exceptional illustrations while going through the concept of counting with children. Carle's 1,2,3 To the Zoo is geared towards preschool age with the number range 1 through 10, associated with
Ryan & Pallotta's Crayon Counting Book could be used as a read aloud for preschoolers or independent work for elementary level students as the book goes over the concept of counting in even and odd numbers up to 23 and 24. The book uses crayons and rhyming verses in teaching readers the different sets of numbers. Since crayons are the main focus of the book, colors and color schemes are also part of the lesson of this book. This would engage those children who can use actual crayons as props throughout the book.

1, 2, 3, works on childrens ability to count. Having the zoo animals within this book makes it more interesting and more of an adventure. You will count car by car on a train where there is one more animal added to each car until you reach the number 10. It is a fun book for younger children.

Eric Carle brings this book to life. The colored animals riding a train to the zoo allows students to be introduced to numbers, number sets, addition, and counting. As the book goes on there is a train at the bottom of each page and the animals are added to the train as the story continues. By the
