The Baker's Dozen is an excellent book for children who are learning to count. The rhymes are fun and the illustrations are colorful, engaging, and make you very hungry. Children can also learn about the different baked goods that are mentioned in the book. This would be a great read aloud for toddlers.

The rhymes for each number are cute and would keep a child's interest. This book is for children learning to count because it only focuses on numbers up to 13. I do like that it goes to 13 because it is a little different than the typical 1 - 10 beginner counting books, and 11, 12 are often uncomfortable for kids at first. This book definitely made me hungry for a sweet treat!

This could be used in kindergarten as a read a loud to review counting and numbers, as well as introduce the concept of the baker's dozen. The read aloud would engage students and encourage them to be active, participating learners. This book could be used as a math center first or second grade, too. The center would supply children with pastry manipulatives like those shown in the book. The children would then work as partners to read the book together and interact with the manipulatives on each page.

The baker makes plenty of fresh dessert for his bakery. He makes each dessert counting up to thirteen.

A jolly baker cooks yummy things in rhymes. Each page has a large number to correspond to the picture of foods. This delightful book makes counting fun with the expressive illustrations. Great for reading time and learning to count.
