Peg + Cat: Math in the Bath: A Level 1 Reader

Peg + Cat

by Jennifer Oxley, Billy Aronson

Bath time turns into math time for Peg and Cat in this tale for early readers.

Peg and Cat are in the bath. One, two friends in the bath. Seems like a great time to do some math! Readers can join old friends Peg and Cat as they engage with the concepts of counting and weight and directional terms such as under, over, and across. How many rocks will sink their boat? When Bug and Worm join the fun, how many are in the bath? Short, repetitive lines and gentle addition and subtraction will make a splash with new and early readers.

Reviews

[Barbra · Rating 3 out of 5]

This level one reader is a pre-chapter chapter book for children ages four to six who want a little more than a picture book. While Peg takes a bath we count and compare. A great companion to learning numbers, that can be read aloud and then read independently.

[Sue Thompson · Rating 3 out of 5]

A great first level reader for your little bookworm. Peg and Cat are true to character in this bathtime adventure. The illustrations really grab your attention and help fill in where the simple text can't. Kindergarteners will enjoy this fun read.

Beginning early reader with a math and directional theme.

[KaitandMaddie · Rating 3 out of 5]

We liked this and Kait read it, but I think I would have liked slightly more interesting math.

[Chloe · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not much fun to read, and based on my daughter’s expression, not much fun to hear. And, as she put it, “That really wasn’t that much math.”
