teaching life-saver

What a psychotic and hyper little book! And yet I found myself as much into the nutty and somehow amazingly educational songs as much as the kids were. Clearly is truly a master of getting kids to learn and he explains the concepts of addition in a way that actually makes sense, complete with jargon and plenty of realistic examples. Not to mention that the book is a complete blast to read.

I am the mother of two small boys, and in my attempt to give them an academic edge, I have come across this series of books....they are outstanding...I have and will continue to recommend these titles to everyone....They are simply the best for teaching your kids.....

Doing for MATH what they did for GRAMMAR!!

Cat-loving illustrator, Brian Gable, and punny, poet Brian P. Cleary have combined once more to make a tough topic teachable and learnable. I love what they did with the WORDS ARE CATEGORICAL series (which include such titles as A MINK A FINK A SKATING RINK; WHAT IS A NOUN?), and it looks like they're bringing the same expertise to the arena of math for little people!
