Rhyming sentences describing equations ("10 monsters looking fine! / 1 folds down. / Still up?...") help put subtraction in context for young learners. Photographs of monster finger puppets, pipe-cleaner dogs, and other trinkets illustrate each problem. A letter at book's end connects the content with Common Core State Standards and gives parents and teachers ideas for other activities.
