"The Action of Subtraction" comes from a series of books labeled ... is categorical. In this case, it is Math is categorical. This book introduces the concept of subtraction in a rhyming manner. This would be a great introduction book for PK, K, or 1. The kids would like the text setup and it also gives them a good first glance at subtraction. The pictures are also very entertaining to look at. (

Second graders love this book if you cover the answers with sticky notes!
