Ten Sly Piranhas by

Ten Sly Piranhas

Ten sly piranhas are swimming in a river, but one at a time they disappear, until there is only one left.  Now that this proud overeater is the only surviving piranha, he is confident that he can eat anybody.  But while he may be the cleverest fish in the river, he is no match for the giant crocodile lurking on the bank.  Children will love learning to count backward in this crafty tale about one very hungry piranha.

While a bit morbid and I thought for a moment my literal 'spirited' child wouldn't handle it well... we pursued through the morbid and ended up and the funny and silly. Ten Sly Piranhas teaches counting down from ten to none. There is poetic elements, alliteration, humor, images to capture discussion and more. It was a good one for our lesson.

We bought this to go along with Memoria Press Simply Classical Curriculum.
