Summary:
This book is filled with poems about animals. As the book progresses the number increases. The poems are creative and comical, with many different animals in situations that could occur for an animal. Each poem also has a creative title that refers to the content of the poem. All of the poems also end with a little moral to the story. One of the poems is about two birds learning to fly. They fall over and over but they keep trying, until the finally learn to fly.
Personal:
I have to say I will be using some of these authors’ books to help teach my son. I believe it has some great ideas for teaching a child addition subtraction. I loved it.
Classroom:
1. I would group students into 4 groups and assign each of them a well-known Disney Tale. The students’ task is to write out a summary of their story and include numbers kind of like the book.
2. We could have a math lesson illustrating this book because it keeps math fun for the kids.
