About the Author
Barbara Barbieri McGrath Author Barbara wanted to combine her interest in writing with her desire to make learning fun. This, and her experience with children, inspired her to write her first book, The M&M'S® Brand Counting Book, which has over a million copies in print. She has also written several other books, including More M&M's® Brand Math, The Cheerios Counting Book(Scholastic), and The Baseball Counting Book.
She lives in Massachusetts with her husband and their two children.
Reviews
Gr 1-3-The book introduces such concepts as "greater than" and "less than," addition, subtraction, negative numbers, fractions, and pie graphs and illustrates each one with bright, shiny candies. Unlike McGrath's The Cheerios Counting Book (Scholastic, 1998) and the M&M's Brand Chocolate Candies Counting Book (Charlesbridge, 1994), Skittles goes beyond simple counting and reaches for the next step. Unfortunately, not all the arithmetic ideas can be laid out simply with sugar drops and rhyming text. For example, only a few superficial sentences are used to explain how to reduce fractions, and the use of negative numbers seems to be thrown in without reason. Weak math questions disguised as riddles are sprinkled throughout. Though this book tries to bring a fun approach to the subject, it cannot be used as a teaching tool and succeeds mostly as an advertising ploy for the popular treat.-Ilene Abramson, Los Angeles Public Library
