1 + 1 = 5: And Other Unlikely Additions

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Brenda Sexton. 1 + 1 = 2, doesn't it? Not always, as LaRochelle reveals in this playful look at arithmetic. Turning the pages, readers discover that 1 + 1 = 3 ("1 unicorn + 1 goat = 3 horns!") or 1 + 1 = 10 ("1 left foot + 1 right foot = 10 toes!") or 1 + 1 = 0 ("1 worm + 1 snake = 0 feet!"). Sexton's cheerful digital illustrations provide clues for solving each math riddle.
