This book has just jumped into my top five favorites for sure. Written by Jon Scieszka, this book comes out of the same mold as classics like the Stinky Cheese Man and The Real Story Of The Three Little Pigs. I love the illustrations. They are simple but so intricate at the same time. The effort that goes into each page is just amazing. I love the story too. It teaches and asks so much about math it could be used in a classroom for days before you got through all of the material. I think this book would be great to incorporate reading in your math class, fun reading at least because we know FUN+READING=FUNREADING.
I am really glad I came across this book on your blog because I always enjoy finding more books written by John Scieszka. I love this writer but do not enjoy math that much. I think it would be a great idea to use this book when I am teaching math so I can bring more enthusiasm into my teaching strategies.
