Slow to fill the order

I will go to the bookstore, rather than wait a couple of weeks to get my order.

Great Book

Used this for a geometry unit in 2nd grade. A great addition and the students loved it.

A warm and wonderful way to introduce geometric shapes!

As a new teacher I am always looking for good literature to introduce mathematics. This warm family story uses loving, hard-working characters to spin a tale of promises and dreams, all wrapped around geometry. The possibilities for geometric-based lessons are endless. When I read it to my second grade class they were enthralled.
