desertcart.com: Ten Sly Piranhas: 9780142400746: Wise, William, Chess, Victoria: Books Review: Preschoolers LOVE IT - I've taught preschoolers for 11 years and this book beginning to end captivates and it is FUN to read. The original reviewer must not know anything about what is child centered and this book can be used in several areas of curriculum. For math there is the obvious counting backward from 10, one to one correspondence thru 10. For literacy there is the/p/ sound for piranha, phonemic awareness of rhyming words and chanting in a rhythm. With a couple of readings your kids will anticipate the rhyme word and fill it in for you. There is alliteration for beginning sound phonemic word segmenting and then if you write out the alliterations on a sentence strip you have an awesome extension activity for print awareness, awareness of letters in print, ask the children "what is the 1st sound in the words gulp and gurgle?" they answer then have them find the letters in the sentence and circle them. Plus singing it is very fun so you get playing with language. buy it you won't regret it. Review: Great counting book - My 6 year old loves this book! The pictures are fantastic. My son loved re telling the story based on the illustrations.

quick shipping, great book
I love this book - I use it in my music classroom every year. Needed a new one because the other one was ruined in a flood. I received the book promptly and am happy with the condition.

My kindergarten class loves this book, we’ve read it a few times now and they join in to choral read some pages “and with a gulp and a gurgle there were only…” Great addition to the math story collection.
