Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 1^-2. Burns, who tackled geometry in The Greedy Triangle (1994), here provides little ones with opportunities to develop basic counting skills within the thin fictional framework of a walk with Grandpa. Each recto page contains clues and a question asking a child to guess the identity of an animal. Flip the page for the answer and an opportunity to count tails and feet in sweet, colorful pictures. As usual in the Hello Math Reader series, suggestions for parents are part of the package. Stephanie Zvirin

This review is from: How Many Feet? How Many Tails? A Book of Math Riddles (Hello Reader! Math, Level 2) (Paperback)

A great book for beginning readers who love riddles. Thispaperback teaches kids more than just how to read words. It teachesthem counting skills, too, and makes it fun. Even smaller children would enjoy this as a read-aloud. They could guess the answers to the riddle with a teacher or parent, and count together. The illustrations add to the humor.
