About the Author
Gail Herman has written many books for children, including easy-to-reads such as Flower Girl, Otto the Cat, What a Hungry Puppy, and Step into Reading's own The Lion and the Mouse and There Is a Town. Jerry Smath illustrated his first children’s book in 1954 and hasn’t stopped. He has illustrated over 100 books for other authors, and has written and illustrated 30 of his own titles. Two of those, But No Elephants and The Housekeeper’s Dog (Parents Press), were Children’s Choice Award winners. Jerry and his wife live in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, with a dog named Molly.
Reviews
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.
