Reviews
Grade 2-4-Carlos figures out how much water it takes to fill his fishbowl after he puts in gravel, a castle, and plants. The writing is breezy and reads like a story about a boy who wants a pet, but the text constantly reinforces the mathematical concepts (how many cups in a pint, a quart, etc.). The illustrations are painted in muted primary colors against a lot of white space. Suggested ways for adults to follow up on the concepts with estimation, cooking, and shopping activities are included. A list of several additional titles that present similar concepts is appended. A fun, painless math lesson.
