Tracks Count is a traditional number book that teaches children to count to 10 while also introducing footprint identification to aspiring animal trackers. From horse to moose to wolf, each page includes a detailed drawing of animal prints as well as an attributing description. The bold illustrations are helpful in teaching children to recognize and identify tracks as well as learn to count.
