# Let's Add Up! - Hardcover

by **Victoria Allenby** (Author), **Maggie Zeng** (Illustrator)

**6 pots + 4 pans = 10 dishes...or a  
feast! With the imaginative play of these creative preschoolers, exploring the  
concepts of categorization and adding up to 10 has never been so much fun.**

If you ask a  
grown-up to add up 8 cars + 2 trucks, they'll probably say that's 10 vehicles.  
And it's true. But these 10 young friends know what else those things add up  
to: a race! What will they do with 7 robes + 3 capes? Or 6 pots + 4 pans? 10  
simple objects can have infinite possibilities.

Previously in the  
Big, Little Concepts series, author Victoria Allenby packaged important  
kindergarten readiness skills in preschooler-perfect books, featuring shape  
recognition in _Shape Up, Construction Trucks_ and sound and rhythm in _Listen  
Up! Train Song_. In _Let's Add Up!,_ aided by the sweet and lively  
illustrations of Maggie Zeng, she cleverly tucks lessons on categorization and  
all the ways to compose the number 10 into a playdate full of enticing  
imagination and creative play. A closing note to caregivers offers enriching,  
age-appropriate activities to keep building their child's foundational learning  
skills. After all, 5 story time snuggles + 5 more = 10 opportunities to build  
lifelong learning!
