BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: MANY
Franco writes 20 very clever poems about math concepts in this book. It definitely would be a great way to introduce a new math concept reading this poem aloud to students. It covers everything from palindromes to fractions, and my favorite: Math Makes Me Feel Safe. Math is something we can always count on because he gives us the same answer.
Tey’s illustrations are colorful and vibrant. They fill up the whole page and give you so much creativity to look at. This book got me excited about math because it depicts it in a fun and playful way. Different ethnicities are portrayed in the illustrations.
