Oscar wants to enter a contest - and another, and another - but he can only do it by asking some friends to divide the costs - and the rewards - with him.

Sheila Bruce is a published author of children's books. Paige Billin-Frye started her career illustrating Hallmark Cards before making the move to children’s books. She has illustrated books published by Albert Whitman, Grosset & Dunlop, Dial Books, and Random House. Originally from Columbus, Georgia, Paige currently lives in Washington, D.C.
Grade 2-3-Two books that purport to show kids how everyday situations often call for the use of math skills. Everybody Wins focuses on sharing. Oscar and Emmy both contribute box tops for a contest and agree to split the prize of 100 frozen pizzas. Sharing continues as friends divide other things among their classmates. Keep Your Distance is more about sibling rivalry than about math, but it does make the concept of distance comprehensible. (Their parents' room is "one yard away." Jen can walk to her friend's house next door "in one minute." "Amy lives 20 blocks away-almost a mile.") Both books have lively, colorful cartoons. Conscientious adults might want to introduce some of the activities listed on the inside back cover. Two titles that could pump some much-needed life into primary-grade math units.
