Counting through Calder’s sculpture

Counting and quantity are introduced through a selection of Alexander Calder’s sculptures, giving early number concepts a visual companion. The book also offers a first encounter with Calder’s work, including his mobiles and static sculptures known as stabiles. Its short accompanying text connects the artworks to counting, while an “about the artist” section adds basic context about the sculptor. The combination makes art part of the book’s learning material, not just its backdrop, and gives the youngest readers two things to notice: how many and what shapes they see.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Toddlers beginning to explore counting and quantity
  • Young children who enjoy looking at art and sculpture
  • Adults seeking an art-centered read-aloud for ages 1–3

Book overview

Practice counting using some of the most famous sculptures in the world!

One & Other Numbers features sculptures by master sculptor Alexander Calder. Calder's playful and often vibrant abstract shapes are highly appealing to young readers and the accompanying text cleverly teaches quantity, a vital early-learning concept. Children will not only grow more familiar with numbers and quantity, but also with the artist and his work.

Alexander Calder is one of the world's most celebrated sculptors. Best known as the inventor of the mobile, Calder redefined sculpture through introducing the element of movement to his works. In addition to his mobiles, Calder also created static sculptures, called 'stabiles', as well as paintings, costumes, and much more besides.

Each title in this must-own series of artful read-aloud board uses masterpieces by celebrated artists to teach one of the top early-learning concepts for toddlers. Each concept is explored playfully through a curated selection of beautifully reproduced artworks while the accompanying text enriches the experience with witty, conversational commentary and an 'about the artist' text. Companion books in this series feature the art of Pablo Picasso, Ellsworth Kelly, Henri Matisse, and Josef Albers.
