1.0 out of 5 stars Where's the rest of the book?, October 30, 2004

This review is from: Read It! Draw It! Solve It!: Grade 2, WORKBOOK (Paperback)

I have the same complaint as the last reviewer. I waited a long time for this book to arrive and my mouth hung open in shock when I saw the puny "mini me" of a book I received. There is no index to tell you which solver problem addresses which content area in math, and there aren't enough pages to make this a worthwhile curriculum book. As the last reviewer advised, don't buy this. Look for the full-size edition. The ISBN is 1-57232-435X.

1.0 out of 5 stars book received did not match book advertised, October 13, 2004

This review is from: Read It! Draw It! Solve It!: Grade 2, WORKBOOK (Paperback)

The "workbook" edition I received was nothing like the more comprehensive collection of problem solving activities I was expecting. (The cover also does not match the cover of the book advertised.) If you order this, be aware that you will receive only 45 activities, based on animal themes. Instead of a focus on math and problem solving, the kids are directed to draw animals such as a stag, a doe, a rooster, and a bull. I'm sure the math will be completely lost in the unreasonable drawing tasks. Bottom line, check the ISBN of the more comprehensive book of reproducible problem solving tasks with the same title and don't bother to order this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very misleading, and a rip-off, September 27, 2005

This review is from: Read It! Draw It! Solve It!: Grade 2, WORKBOOK (Paperback)

The Product Details clearly state: Paperback: 48 pages. I wish I had seen that before I ordered it.This appears to be a workbook for the actual book which my Wife saw in a store and asked me to order. The picture does not match the book cover, which states "Grade 2 workbook". 60% of each page is a box to draw in, 25% lines to write on, and the other 15% (max) is 1-3 sentence questions. Do yourself a favor and give your kids a blank piece of drawing paper and ask them silly questions like "how many mittens do 3 spiders require?" then have them draw the spiders. 12 dollars buys a lot of blank paper!
