Pigs on the Ball: Fun with Math and Sports

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sharon McGinley-Nally. The Pig family celebrates Mr. Pig's birthday at a miniature golf course. While Mrs. Pig and the piglets navigate the geometric greens with ease, Mr. Pig's putts land afield. Although the golfing mishaps overshadow the math content, energetic illustrations--featuring the protagonists in clothing decorated with shapes--provide clues to the math vocabulary. An introductory author's note and a final math quiz help emphasize geometry connections.
Reviewer: Tanya D. Auger
