Grandpa has a surprise for Tim, Anne, and Gordon - CHICKENS! Now, where should they put the chickens and their new home? Each time they move the fence, the home becomes a different shape, but the perimeter stays the same.

Meg Belviso holds a BA in English from Smith College and an MFA from Columbia University. During the week, she chronicles angel encounters as Staff Editor of the bi-monthly magazine Angels on Earth, though in her time off she often prefers writing about monsters, ghosts and demons. That is, when she's not writing for Penguin's Who Was...? series of biographies.
Gr. 1-2. When Grandpa arrives with three chickens and 24 feet of flexible fencing, Tom, Gordon, and Anne make a narrow rectangular chicken coop (3 + 9 + 3 + 9 = 24) beside the house. The chickens keep the family awake, so they move the fencing to make a new coop (4 + 8 + 4 + 8 = 24) by Grandpa's garden. Because watering the garden is impossible without splashing the chickens, they make a triangular coop (8 + 8 + 8 = 24) by the garage. The last page offers a perimeter chart and challenges readers to decide if all six figures shown have the same perimeter measurement. Math teachers will be pleased with the book's clear illustration of perimeter, while children will simply enjoy the jovial cast of capable kids. The simple text is enhanced by the colorful and often comical artwork, which features some amusing close-ups of alarmed, distressed, and quizzical chickens. Another winner from the Math Matters series. Carolyn Phelan
