Frog friends, Matty and Moe, are off with a "Ready, Set, Hop!" They both made it to the rock, but who's in the lead? If Matty hopped 5 hops and Moe hopped 2 more hops than Matty, then the score is 5 to 7. But then they're off again. Any child who can add or subtract can build a simple equation, and Matty and Moe make it fun. As readers count along with Stuart J. Murphy and Jon Buller they will sharpen their problem solving skills and find out which frog is the better hopper.

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3?This series entry flops as a stand?alone title. Matty and Moe are two frogs who decide to have a contest to see who can reach various spots with the fewest number of hops. Readers are encouraged to count, add, and subtract along with them. There is no background given for these skills; readers are expected to be able to understand the transition between counting hops, figuring out which number is greater than or less than the other, and translating these figures into a number problem. Although there is a page of information at the back to help parents introduce the concepts, it is not enough. The story frame is weak and will not hold readers' interest long enough for them to care about which frog wins, and the colorful cartoon illustrations can't save this no-hopper.?JoAnn Rees, Sunnyvale Public Library, CA
