Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

PWs starred review praised this counting book as unusually stimulating, commenting that it holds appeal for a wide spectrum of ages. Ages 3-up.
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3-- The vibrant style of Crews's gouache artwork is well matched to this exceptional introduction to mathematics. A situation is presented in simple sentences. ``On my way to Grandma's I saw 2 fat cows. Each cow had 2 calves. Each calf had 4 skinny legs,'' and the questions follow:``How many fat cows. . . calves . . . legs were there in all?'' The bright, cheerful illustrations boldly amplify the scenes, making interaction easy and fun. Tana Hoban's Count and See (Macmillan, 1972) and 26 Letters and 99 Cents (Greenwillow, 1987), and Mitsumasa Anno's Anno's Counting Book (Crowell, 1977) are other fine counting books. This one, however, takes the concepts a step further to challenge older children's thinking skills without being patronizing or sacrificing integrity for the youngest audiences. Teachers will find it useful for beginning multipliers. The book concludes with the age-old riddle contained in the poem, ``As I was going to St. Ives.'' Its answer is a lighthearted way to finish such an engaging, attractive addition to the concept picture-book genre. --Mary Lou Budd, Milford South Elementary School, OH

This is a wonderful book to use in patterning, multiplication, and creative thinking! I use the book in my classroom in so many ways, with children up to third grade! We read it, then make up our own "Math Riddles" to put into our own class book. Example, Three fish had four fins each, with eight dots on each fin. How many fish? How many fins? How many dots altogether?

Format:Paperback
Cute counting book with colorful illustrations. Gives 3 sets of numbers and asks 3 questions in each "section." Better than average. I would recommend this one for K and 1st grade, as well as teachers and parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Math and Fruit June 20, 2005
Format:Paperback
This entertaining book is a good for young cildren to learn math. This book relates to math by giving math problams and then ask the child to answer them. This book can also help a child in their reading.

Even for an 8th grader like myself it is very interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Each Orange Had 8 Slices October 12, 2005
Format:Paperback
Finally...a counting book! My 4 yr old is resisting learning to count. This book is great. He asks to read to it! The pictures are colorful and it can be used to teach basic math because there are questions on each page that involve either counting each item (42 quacks) or using addition or multiplication.

I would buy more books like this!

Every classroom should have this book! It can be used as a simple counting book, but look closer and you can do division, fractions and proportions.
