Sadie, the Story Lady

Looking for a simple, playful way to introduce early math? How Many Together? by Heather Douglas turns little hands into learning tools — and today, Polly and Joey are here to help count, giggle, and explore!

🧠 How the Game Works

The idea is beautifully simple: count what’s on one hand, count what’s on the other, then put them together. Each round builds early addition skills while encouraging movement, imagination, and participation — and it feels like a game, not a lesson.

Polly and Joey bring every page to life, from furry fingers and pretty rings to dinosaur claws and robot hands. Whether you’re using this book for circle time, a classroom math center, or cozy at-home learning, little ones will be counting along before they know it.

🪄 Make It Your Own

And the fun doesn’t have to stop when the book ends. Try mixing it up with new themes — animals, snacks, favorite toys — or let your child take the lead and ask the questions themselves. Before you know it, they’re not just counting. They’re creating the game. And that’s where the real magic happens. ✨

Polly and Joey would definitely approve. 😉
