Math Fables: Lessons That Count

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Heather Cahoon. In Tang's sixth effort to make math entertaining, each number one through ten is honored with a rhyme about a specific quantity of animals--e.g., eight crabs--who break into smaller groups: "As 7 stood by cautiously, / 1 daring crab jumped in...." Some of the rhymes are more graceful than others, but kids engaged by the book's concept and digitally rendered all-animal cast won't care.
