It's all in rhyme for these little ones, "Fluffy soft like a bed. First we climb, then we sled." is one example from lying in the snow (moms, too, and a cat!) then up, up, up a hill, gliding so fast, mouths open (see that cover)!

What to do? It teaches sorting, comparing and contrasting along with problem-solving. and a few tips about teaching are at the back. This is one of six of the story-telling math series both written and illustrated by Grace. It seems very inviting! Thanks to Charlesbridge for this copy!...more
