Titch by Pat Hutchins
**Found in the 20th Century Children's Book Treasury**
I use this children's book to introduce division math unit. A fun silly story about having made cookies to share but the doorbell keeps ringing, bring more people that they have to share with. Student's enjoy this story and gives a great sneak peek at division and it's usefulness in everyday life.
A counting book where the phrase "fiddle-dee-fee" is used a lot. Also has a lot of animal noises.
