Review

(The following is a combined review for Pet Store Subtraction; Grandfather’s Shape Story; and Giraffe Graphs) K-Gr 2 –These titles introduce basic math concepts through situations that children will relate to. In Subtraction , a pet store worker must figure out how many animals and supplies have sold to see what she needs to order. In Shape Story , a child is fascinated with the tangrams her grandfather creates while telling her a story. Graphs features a class trip to the zoo, where the children track what they observe through graphs and charts. Each spread has a paragraph or two of simple text facing a full-color photograph. Ideal for demonstrating mathematical skills in real-life settings, these books are sure to appeal to young learners. However, their small size might make them difficult to share with a group.–Cathie Bashaw Morton, Millbrook Central School District, NY --Cathie Bashaw Morton (Reviewed December 1, 2006) (School Library Journal, vol 52, issue 12, p128)
