The Wishing Club: A Story about Fractions

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Anna Currey. Four siblings wish on a star, but only receive a fraction of a wish: four-year-old Petey gets one-fourth of a dollar, two-year-old Joey gets half of a cookie, the eight-year-old twins each receive one-eighth of a bag of marbles. But when they wish for one thing together, their group wish comes true. Currey's illustrations add extra warmth to Napoli's math-minded tale.
