About this book
A silly swarm of not-so-scary monsters pops up all over school, and readers count along as the number grows to 100. Short, repeating sentences and playful illustrations make this an inviting choice for new readers. It’s a fun way to practice counting while easing school-time jitters. Perfect for read-alouds in kindergarten through second grade, especially around the 100th day of school or any time kids want a giggle.
Setting: an elementary school during a busy school day
