This review is from: Sold! A Mothematics Adventure (Paperback)

I am a teacher's aide and this book was read to a first grade class. The illustrations are charming, in an old fashioned kind of way. A young boy goes to an auction with his father; because of a troublesome moth the boy winds up bidding on and ultimately winning a lot of useless junk. As his pile adds up he laments about his allowance dwindling. The math is probably (mostly multiplication) a bit above a first grade level, but my class loved the storyline. There is a bit of a surpise ending, and the book ends with an open ending, which led to a quite interesting discussion in the class. I am going to buy this book for my family.
