Mouse Math series.
Illustrated by
Deborah Melmon.
Mouse Albert sets out to make muffins ("By myself!"). He finds he's fresh out of the first ingredient, then the second, third, and so on, but thanks to his neighbors' generosity, the baking project is a success. Softly illustrated, friendly-looking mice welcome readers to the contrived but effective primer on ordinal numbers (with a bonus lesson on sharing). Two activity pages are appended.

MathStart series.
Illustrated by
Scott Nash.
A neighborhood dog show is the context for this simple introduction to ordinal numbers. As four canine contestants are called forward to display their talents, the show's emcee describes each pooch as the first, second, third, or fourth performer. Simple diagrams and lighthearted illustrations, featuring clever dogs and their owners, reinforce each term and symbol. Suggestions for related activities are appended.
