Firefighters Sort Through their Buttons etc.

Cute book about sorting for young primary children. How do you sort? By shape, color, kind, etc.? This book helps kids understand those sorts of concepts and is fun to boot!

Very cute book - especially nice for the firefighter fan!

Be sure to grab this one particularly if you have little ones who really like firefighters. Its main characters are firefighters, trying to get dressed for the big parade, but they don't have the correct amount of buttons. They have a variety of sizes and shapes but they must be able to sort them in such a way that each firefighter has a set of four. There is a typo in the beginning that talks about the number os sets - it says there needs to be four sets of three instead of three sets of four, but other than that, it's just a great little book. My little one wants it read repeatedly each night. What a great way to start your toddler off right, particularly if you have a boy who loves firetrucks and firefighters! Highly recommend!

cute math book

Three young children plan to dress as firefighter for a parage. They start to dress in up in their firemen's coats and discover that the buttons are missing. The kids look around and find a bunch of buttons. Then they have to sort them so that each firefighter will have 4 buttons. Join them as they discover various ways of sorting.I liked the suggested activities in this book that will provide parents with ideas to share with their kids about simple math concepts. An entertaining short picture-book that will delight preschool aged children. We recommed this book because kids will love the pictures and the story line is too cute!
