Review Quotes

"My Even Day begins where One Odd Day ended. The story is similar to the first except that this day revolves around examples of even numbered and then concludes with the boy waking up to find that half his head has been shaved, leading the reader to believe that the next book will focus on fractions. - Teaching Children Mathematics
