Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Simple addition is easy and entertaining with this booklet from the Dr. Seuss Beginner Fun series. Children learn to apply their knowledge of numbers 1 to 10 and the principles of addition through exercises that include crossing out a number that doesn't belong in a certain set; circling or underlining appointed numbers or number of objects; or writing the answer to a simple question of how many. There's also fun to be had with stickers: each of the 19 stickers matches a specific addition problem and children must figure out where each sticker belongs in relation to the equation. With Dr. Seuss and his quirky creations, learning simple math is fun and funny! (Kindergarten to grade 1)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific Math Start, July 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: I Can Add Upside Down! (A Dr. Seuss Beginner Fun Book, Preschool-Kindergarten) (Paperback)

Just bought this fun workbook for my five year old. It is funny, has great artwork and really got her interested in addition. She has a knowledge of simple addition, but this book explains in easy terms that 3 + 1 = 4, is sometimes 1 + 3 = 4. Also helped to explain the concept of zero. The book has places for the children to write in the answers, therefore getting used to writing out numbers. A great learning experience.

I found this workbook in an airport shop during a 3 hour delay...it was wonderful. My children were so excited and eager to learn. The workbook has areas to practice writing the numbers and then keeps them eager to practice while connecting the right # to the set (also great about learning sets), then filling in the number to correct sets and also then uses stickers to complete the sets. I highly recommend these kid freindly workbooks. I'm ordering more...
