This is a wonderful book to use when teaching students fractions. In 4th grade I had the students use a paper "rod" that I had previously divided up as rooms. As I read the book I had the students to color in the rooms occupied. The students also enjoyed hearing the book, which was quite entertaining. I have since read this books to 2nd grade to introduce parts of wholes. I plan on using this book in the future to teach fractions.

I was very pleased with Full House: An Invitation to Fractions. My children really enjoyed reading it. It's very useful for children between K-3 grade. It has helped my children understand the basics of fractions.

This is a fun introduction to fractions, though the title puts it more cutely. The repetition in this book makes it perfect for reading over and over again to young kids who love to join in. My son has memorized the beginning of each new customer: "Knock knock went the door, Ding dong the bell rang, Welcome, Welcome, Miss Bloom sang." When he wants to read it, he asks for "Welcome, welcome."

I highly recommend this book for very young children; I'm sure it is equally fun for older children who are actually of the age to learn fractions.

This book is a good way of getting across the idea of numerators and denominators, without naming them as such.

The house has a number of rooms available for guests (denominator), and as the rooms fill up, the fraction's numerator is shown changing. Then repeat quickly with cake.

OK for young kids, but there isn't much of a story here.

For older kids (3rd to 5th grade), I like "If you were a Fraction" by Trisha Speed Shaksan or "Working with Fractions" by David A. Adler.

My 3 year old son and I enjoy reading this book very much. Like nearly all 3-year-olds, he has troubles of understanding what fraction is. However, he enjoys saying "knock knock" & "ding dong" out loud & pointing out all the numbers on the pages.

This is a great book for my 3 and 4 yo. They love the pictures and the introduction to fractions is very realistic and easy to comprehend. This is good exposure for my young kids. We have more fun with it than actual comprehension but it is quite stimulating for them. This book will be great to enhance their comprehension with fractions as they get older.
