This book was suggested on my Grandchild's 1st grade math homework paper. I could not find it in his Elementary School Library, so I purchased it from Amazon. He LOVED it and asked questions that let me know the book encouraged him to look to his home setting for more ideas about fractions. My 5 year old Granddaughter also loved this book. I highly recommend it for the young learner.

This is a brightly colored level 1 easy-to-read book that encourages children to think about division and how to divide items evenly. The rabbit and the hare try to divide a mushroom into equal parts without success. The raccoon intervenes and eats the mushroom. They try again with an apple, but it is not divided in equal parts either. The raccoon offers to help again but rabbit and hare are wiser and decline his help. Rabbit and hare devise a plan to cut the larger and smaller pieces of the apple into equal parts. I would recommend this book to help children start to understand division and apply it to real life situations.
