PreSchool-Grade 2?The concept of division is introduced effectively in this easy-to-read story. Rabbit and Hare both love to eat, and so they decide to share food by breaking different fruits and vegetables in half. When the mushroom divides unevenly, the two animals fight over the largest piece. Mr. Raccoon (the devious arbiter) offers to solve their problem by taking a bite out of the larger piece. Children will easily anticipate the result: he eats the whole thing. By the second episode, Rabbit and Hare are not as easily fooled and come up with a plan to divide their apple that satisfies both of them. The short sentences complete with word repetition are the basic elements needed to insure reading success. Although Bolam's illustrations are not particularly dynamic, their spareness complements the simple text and provides important contextual clues for new readers.?Amelia Kalin, Valley Cottage Library, NY

Gr. 1^-2. Ziefert's entry in the Viking Math Easy-to-Read series is a capable introduction to a basic math concept as well as a lesson in sharing. In trying to divide a mushroom in half, Rabbit and Hare (grown-ups may need to explain) end up with unequal pieces. When both animals claim the larger one, Mr. Raccoon volunteers to step in to make them equal--by taking a bite from the bigger piece. Innocent Rabbit and Hare agree--only to realize they've been "had" when the mushroom disappears into the raccoon's tummy. The simplicity of Bolam's artwork allows children to assess the mathematics without unnecessary distraction. It also captures the silly joke, which little ones will surely enjoy. Stephanie Zvirin
