(3) K-3 MathStart series. Illustrated by Sylvie Wickstrom. Preparing a fishbowl for a new occupant is the context for this adequate introduction to volume and units of capacity. As Carlos fills the fishbowl with enough water for a pet guppy, simple diagrams show the amount of water added and the relationships among cups, pints, quarts, half-gallons, and gallons. Clear, humorous illustrations accompany the story, and related activities and books are suggested at the back.
