This book was read to a group of 2nd graders. The book had great character pictures which the kids enjoyed and the clever writing was enjoyed by the children as well. The math concepts that where introduced where a bit over the kids heads. I asked a few students if they understood what was going on mathimatically and they understood the simpler stories told. So if your a teacher I feel this book would be a great way to accompany a classroom lesson related to fractions.

I would highly recommend this book to those teachers teaching children who are interested in math. This book illustrates that math does not always have to be a difficult task, and that there is a lot of fun ways in which young children can have fun learning fractions, and other aspects of math.

The concepts of fractions are presented and illustrated so joyfully that my kindergarten-age child couldn't wait to read it a second time. She learned all the concepts in the book effortlessly. Where were books like these when we were growing up?My eleven-year old got a big kick out of the illustrations, too. Very engaging and entertaining. I plan to order more of Loreen Leedy's books.
