Customer Reviews

Like it -- it really teaches fractions

My 5-year-old loves this story. It really teaches fractions -- exactly what it sets out to do. This book is great.

Fractions and "Real Life"

This is a wonderful book for use with first or second graders. It covers 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 in an engaging way that demonstrates realistic everyday uses for fractions that young children can relate to. Animals devide into two groups for a tug of war, three groups for a swimming race and four groups for a canoe race. A great introduction to fractions!
