Companion summary

Have you ever noticed how a whole hand has exactly five fingers? When you count five things, you can share them fairly between two people and one is left over. Five is hiding everywhere — five toes, five petals on many flowers, five dots on one side of a dice. When you feel ready, try finding five things in the room around you right now.

Wake Up, Fingers!

Wake Up, Fingers!

Hold up one hand. Count your fingers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! You have 5 fingers!
