4.0 out of 5 stars Rhyming leggy arthropod talks about feet, helps with math. Sweet!, February 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One Hundred Shoes: A Math Reader (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)
First of all, those in the know will have to get past the fact that despite the meaning of its name, a centipede tends NOT to have 100 feet. Those who can are certain to enjoy this simple story about shoes, feet and multiples of 100. Fortunately, the story is short, fast-paced and has logical rhymes. Unfortunately, the "math" part is really only about three sentences long and includes only: two times fifty, five times twenty and ten times ten. Even so, with arithmetic seeming to sometimes take a back seat to reading and writing, this is an easy, fun way to expose your younger reader to the number 100 and some of its factors. Reading level is K through Second grade. This would be a great book to read during 100th Day of School celebrations. Also good: Mary Clare Loves to Share.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, August 29, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One Hundred Shoes: A Math Reader (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)
One Hundred Shoes (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) One Hundred Shoes (a.k.a. the centipede book, in our home) is GREAT. I bought it as a "math" reader for my kids, ages 5, 6 and 9. They all enjoy it but my 5yr. old son esp. LOVES it. We began reading it just before K5 began and he memorized it w/in two days. Although it's currently beyond his reading level, it has served as a great incentive; he is learning/beginning to actually read the book he loves so much. It does Not touch on "math" aspects as much as expected however my kids love the rhyming and the fantasy of a centipede wearing shoes and wearing different types for different occasions has offered scope to broaden their imagination! They immediately looked up centipedes on the internet to "see" what a real centipede looks like,etc.We read it often as it maintains its appeal :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of His Favorites, May 17, 2005
This review is from: One Hundred Shoes: A Math Reader (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 5 year old and he absolutely loves it. It's one of the few he has actually read over and over again. Some of the early reader books tend to bore him, but he (and I!) find this one very entertaining.
