From the creator of the Math Kids comes a new educational chapter book series!
Siblings Emily and Sam are always ready to learn new things. When they find a box turtle and decide to adopt it, they need to learn what to feed it and how to create a safe home for it. But just as they're getting the hang of caring for their new pet, it goes missing!
Someone must have taken the turtle, but who? It's up to Emily and Sam to find out.
I met David Cole at the Missouri Book Festival (great guy!) and bought two of his cozy math stories for my Free Little Library… but I also wanted to read them, (even though I am much too old to be the target audience!) I would have loved these as a kid! This story about a pet turtle shows kids how to think through an “area and perimeter” problem to build an enclosure for the turtle. They also use logic and reasoning to try and solve a mystery. I enjoyed playing along with the math puzzle, the story was engaging, and the pictures were really cute. Definitely recommend for the young readers who love math and books!
