The Action of Subtraction

32 pp. | Millbrook | September, 2006 | Library ISBN 0-7613-9461-3 $15.95
(4) K-3 Math Is Categorical series. Illustrated by Brian Gable. "Subtraction is an action that will make your total less, / whether ice-cream scoops or hula hoops or inches from a dress." A rhyming text employs various kid-pleasing objects to introduce the concept of subtraction. Some rhymes push it ("dentist" leads to "bent wrist"), but young readers may find the groaners, accompanied by sleek, dopey-looking-animal–filled art, part of the fun.
