Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-Two young mice use six Popsicle sticks to create many different things including "2 swings," "3 pairs of skis," and "1 mouse clubhouse!" The appealing collage illustrations are simple but effective and subtly show readers the advantages of working together. Children will be intrigued by the variety of the stick creations and will have fun predicting what the next one might be. This beginning reader could also be used effectively as a model for writing a math story or for designing a small-group math-challenge activity.

"At all times, be mindful and vigilant that you do not cling to your perceptions of the universe, and the beings within it, as real and solid. Train yourself to see everything as the play of unreal apparitions." P.R.

Coxe is a master!,
This review is from: 6 Sticks (Step Into Reading + Math: (Early Hardcover)) (Library Binding)
Molly Coxe has written the perfect beginning reader for counting! The art work is magnificent. An extension activity for this book is to have children make their own artwork using popsicle sticks! The Step into Reading PLUS MATHS are the best thing going! (See other Step into Reading Plus Math books! )

This review is from: 6 Sticks (Step Into Reading + Math: (Early Hardcover)) (Library Binding)
As Mr. Murphy says, the book is good for introducing math concepts. We see several ways that the number 6 can be subdivided.
As Mr. Murphy says, the illustrations are spendid. Just one gripe, though: the bindery work leaves much to be desired.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Six Sticks (Step into Reading, Early, paper)
My son loves this book! Great for beginning readers, and inspires creativity, as well as forgiveness when your friend makes you mad. In the book, two mice friends (a boy and a girl), have 6 popsicle sticks. They proceed to play with them, and show what they can do with six sticks.... like make 3 pairs of ski's, two swings, and much more. Towards the end, one mouse gets mad at the other, and so they each have 3 sticks and they each use them to make a tee-pee (one for a mad mouse and one for a sad mouse). At the end, they make up and use their sticks to make one mouse clubhouse. Very cute book.
