Publisher Description
This must-have back-to-school classic from beloved creator Rosemary Wells not only reinforces counting skills, but commemorates all of the excitement and learning that happens in those first one hundred days.
Emily is ready for her first day of school. There's so much to do: learning the alphabet, singing, reading books, dancing, and counting, starting with the very first day. One hundred days feels very far away, but day by day, Emily and her classmates see they're getting closer. And as the lessons they learn begin to add up, their world expands. Chock-full of surprising discoveries, age-appropriate activities, and plenty of humor, Emily's First 100 Days of School supports growing skills in reading, writing, and arithmetic, with an emphasis on math skills.Download and start listening now!
"Filled with fun references (see Music Man's 76 Trombones, which one can't help but pull up on YouTube later, to my kids' delight) you could choose to explain or let be, this is a wonderful book for preschoolers and kindergarteners to listen to. It's long, so having the accompanying CD is a big plus."

Quotes

“The one hundredth day of school can be an important milestone—and a great learning tool! Emily is an adorable Wellsian bunny, complete with pudgy cheeks and sweet little jumpers and overalls…Excellent.”
— Amazon.com, editorial review -
“A sparkling, ambitious book.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“As in Margery Cuyler’s 100th Day Worries (1999) and Tana Hoban’s Let’s Count (1999), preschoolers can begin with the prime numbers…then gradually learn to count their way up to one hundred with the everyday things around them.”
— Booklist -
“Wells alternates between Emily’s home and school life seamlessly, providing a wonderful example of how families—not just parents—are the first teachers and how they can supplement classroom education throughout childhood.”
— School Library Journal -
“A delightful learning opportunity. It also fulfills a need for teachers who follow the well-known mathematical pedagogy program that the celebration describes. Delicious!”

— Gretchen, 8/5/2013 -
" This book is great for exposure to numbers 1-100. It goes day by day through Emily's first 100 days of school. It could also be incorporated as an activity when it's the 100th day of school for your students. "
— Brittany, 5/29/2013 -
" Loved it...but just be sure to keep a glass of water on hand :) "
— Mel, 5/3/2013 -
" I love this book, and it's great illustrations. At our school we count the days to 100 and then have THE 100th Day CELEBRATION. This is my very first classroom book purchase, and I know we will read it on and before the 100th day. "
— Kristin, 4/18/2013 -
" This is a number book that goes up to 100. It is probably too long to read in one sitting, but could be read to the class in the days leading up to the 100th day of school. "
— Callie, 3/24/2013 -
" This is a great book to teach counting to students in a classroom. This would probably be used more in the pre-k range, however, you could use this with indviduals who have special needs. You could also use this to count each day of class up to the 100th day and then read the whole book again! "
— Kevin, 11/14/2012 -
" Read during opening when counting number of days in the schol. "
— Stephanie, 9/23/2012 -
" GH liked this because he experienced all the fun of the 100th day of school. Each student brought 100 pieces of a snack. He was assigned pretzels. I love Rosemary Wells. Those bunnies are the cutest! "
— Theresa, 8/28/2012 -
" Rosemary Wells bunnies tell the story of Emily who starts her first day of school never believing they will get to 100 days. Each day is depicted with it's corresponding number and an activity. Emily has a surprise for her 100th day celebration. "
— Alyson, 6/28/2012 -
" Not many books could count their way up to 100. What a fun way to explore the quantity of the number. "
— Alicia, 2/19/2012 -
" This book is awesome to do with morning meetings or to start the day. The kids always look forward to what Emily is going to do next. The kids might be able to relate to some of the things that she does, and its a great way to count down the first 100 days! "
