Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 2AThis lively easy reader introduces the number combinations that add up to 10. The text follows a group of 10 monsters through various outdoor activities. Each double-page spread illustrates a different combination: "Are the monsters ready to go? Ten say yes. Zero say no" or "Nine monsters come by air. One monster comes by land." The brightly colored, cartoon creatures are appealing. The book can be shared as a story, used for counting practice, or serve as a basis for more challenging math activities. Seven pages of games and riddles that reinforce the concepts covered in the text are included. Adults and children will enjoy sharing this outing.ALisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY

Gr. 1. This book from the Hello Math Reader series explores the different numbers that can be combined for a total of 10. Ten monsters set out for a picnic, and along the way they divide up into various combinations for different activities: "Three swim. Seven just float." On the next double-page spread, "Two surf. Eight sail in a boat." Bright, simple line-and-watercolor-wash pictures illustrate the simple text. The monsters, though different from each other in color and form, are alike in their jovial high spirits; they are definitely more cuddly than scary. Preschoolers would enjoy the book as a read-aloud choice. Like other volumes in the series, this ends with several pages of activities designed to reinforce the mathematical concept. A simple, cheerful book for children ready to take one step beyond counting. Carolyn Phelan
