Reviews
Grade 3-4?A funny introduction to basic multiplication, with witches, cats, and monsters demonstrating the consequences of multiplying numbers from 0 to 5. The illustrations are done in muted, autumnal tones of black, blue, orange, and mustard, and arranged in a comic-strip format. The text is all in dialogue balloons, as various creatures see the need to eliminate foes (multiplying by 0) or increase their bounty. The concepts are clear and understandable. The only thing missing here is theory?why does multiplying something by 0 equal 0? Leedy's book presents an entertaining alternative to rote memorization; it's a little silly, but it works.?JoAnn Rees, Sunnyvale Public Library, CA

Gr. 1^-4. Witches, vampires, bats, and skeletons are some of the Halloween creatures in these cheerfully ghoulish math stories. How do you make boo stew for 5 if the recipe serves only one? Answer: multiply all the ingredients by 5; that means multiplying five bouncy eyeballs, 10 knobby knuckles, 15 ears, and 20 toes. The first chapter, about the number zero, is the most difficult (How do you make a vampire vanish? Answer: multiply him by zero), but the concept is demonstrated with a great many examples of disappearing creatures. After that, it's pretty straightforward multiplication from one to five. Leedy's pictures, in comic style, are gory and silly, and kids will work out the numbers as they giggle at the creepy monsters. Hazel Rochman

2 X 2 = Boo!: A Set of Spooky Multiplication Stories
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
