1-3All Aboard Math Reader series.
Illustrated by
Chris Demarest.
A soccer team coached by a math teacher calls itself the Fractions and has fractions as jersey numbers. During tryouts, practice, and a game, the players learn about fractions from situations that they encounter: e.g., the sixteen kids must equally divide up eight oranges. The math aspect of the book seems forced, but the pleasant story and loose, bright illustrations will satisfy kids at the target reading level.
