Counting on Fall

(4) K-3 Math in Nature series. Illustrated by Ashley Barron. A rhyming text poses questions about numbers in nature: "With toes like those, / do you suppose / raccoons can count on trouble?" Additional text boxes ask readers to perform simple (though not always clear) math tasks related to counting or estimating: "Can you count the [raccoon] toes by fives?" Pleasing cut-paper collage art features appropriate fall tones.
