I wish I would have had something like this when I first started learning math! My four year old daughter loves being able to see the ideas and concepts and it really helps her understand better.

This book is great. It covers the ordinal numbers (first, second, third and fourth) and is a fun story that kids enjoy. My almost 3 y.o. son asks me to read it over and over and my 4.5 y.o. daughter got the concepts after the second reading.

If you are looking for a good edutainment book I suggest you can't go wrong with this one.

The story is simple enough for 1st graders to read, and funny enough for them to want to read it. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and inviting. I read this story to 1st graders, and then reviewed the story with them. They liked the dogs and their owners, and could easily relate to me their ordinal number. After we read through it once I had the children take turns being the dogs and their classmates put them in the proper order. This is a great way to introduce ordinal numbers, and to review the concept if you have already introduced the concept. The back of the book contains several ideas for extending the concepts in this story. I recommend this book for kindergarten and first grade students.

Great book! It is definitely for prek-2nd grade readers. Puts the lesson of ordinal numbers in an easy text for young readers to understand. Definitely recommend it for your math literature library!

Very good to intro ordinal numbers. The pictures are kid friendly. They are easy to point to and explain what are ordinal numbers.
