This engaging book makes you think! So many math activities can be applied with this book- decomposition of numbers, simple addition, and even multiplication! ( )

I thought this was a great way to introduce young readers to counting. The illustrations by Randy Cecil really help students who are visual learners get a grip on how to add multiples of 2, 3, 6, etc. ( )

I chose to tag gender neutral with this books because they do have what appears to be a young boy on the beach but refers to him as a person. That was the only person illustrated. The rest of the story is told with other animals and insects. The illustration as a whole is simple, colorful, and inviting. ( )

This was a counting book that used feet to count and for each number they would show the number in one animal and then he would combine the animals to form the number. The base unit was crabs with 10 feet and then they used snails (1 leg), dogs (4 feet), insects (6 legs), and spiders (8 legs). The illustrations were fun and colorful and helped keep interest. Overall, this was a wonderful book that I enjoyed reading to see how math can be combined with reading. ( )
