I loved this book. It is a great math book filled with poems and riddles. This book would work best either reading to a whole class or for students reading on their own. Throughout the book there are clever riddles that talk about what is going on on the page. There are then some things that involve counting things on the page as well. Simply put, it is a great learning tool for students. It gets them interacting and is exciting to read. ( )

I loved this book! I think it could be used in any grade from Kindergarten to 3rd grade, depending upon what concepts you are trying to teach. It could be used in Kindergarten to teach seasons, holidays, or counting. It could be used in first grade to teach addition and subtraction. It could also be used in second or third grade to teach multiplication, grouping, and arrays. ( )

This is a great book for a math class. It incorporates counting as well as addition and even multiplication if you want to group the objects. It also gives hints and answers of how students should think about counting the objects. The story is written in riddle form.
