K-3MathStart series.
Illustrated by
David T. Wenzel.
In More, a boy compares numbers to guess people's ages at his school's picnic. In Polly, an American girl is introduced to metric units of measure by her Montrealer pen pal. As in most MathStart books, the absorbing story lines and engaging illustrations collude to make readers forget they are learning math as they happily turn the pages. Reading list. Review covers these MathStart titles: More or Less and Polly's Pen Pal.
