Review Quotes

Following the same format as the Word Fun series, appealing illustrations and simple passages take the reader from simple addition of 1 bear + 1 bear = 2 bears to presenting the idea of adding multiple, fun items of 8 red bracelets on one arm and 8 pink bracelets on the other = 16 bracelets. Concludes with a brief glossary, more books to read, web sites, and an index.-- "Teacher Librarian"

Simple text and great illustrations make this book a great resource in the classroom. Showing plus telling students how to write math problems gives them a clearer picture of math. Very well done- would recommend the entire series for all elementary schools.-- "Fort Street Elementary"
