This is a great read for younger kids. It rhymes and include math, counting down the 10 roses. I loved how she rhymes the number of roses left with the kids in the story name or surrounding.
I would have like for the author to give the readers a reason why the kids are picking these roses. Other than just give a picture of them giving them to their teacher.
I really like this book it had great illustrations for kids to understand. ( )

"Ten Rosy Roses" is a poem that includes math and counting. The story starts off with 10 "rosy roses" and goes all the way to zero. A little boy or girl "pick" one of the flowers and then state there are a certain amount left. This poem helps young students in pre-k and kindergarten learn about counting and subtraction while also introducing them to poetry. This poem also includes alliteration in how it mentions "rosy roses" many times throughout the book. The style used in this poem helps young students follow a pattern in the writing, helping them make predictions of how many "rosy roses" are left, which can be a tool to help them learn to count. Overall, this book is very straightforward and I think it can be helpful for very young students to learn how to count. ( )

“Ten rosy roses standing in a line, Jan picks one and now there are nine.” And so on, as each child comes by to pick one until they’re all gone. On the last spread the children present the roses to their teacher. Nice variety of kids, very colorful illustrations, very pink.

Cute surprise ending! ( )

This is a great book to read to younger children. It is a book about counting and it also rhymes. The pictures are close up. ( )
