Kindness Counts!

by Debby Anderson

Through colorful illustrations, Scripture references, and interactive exercises, Kindness Counts! helps children learn basic math skills while teaching them the importance of kindness. They will learn that God loves them and wants them to spread his kindness and love to others, and they will see that even the smallest acts of kindness matter. Parents and teachers will appreciate the practical ideas that children can apply in sharing kindness with others, such as collecting coins for the needy or helping their parents at home. At the same time, children are introduced to basic mathematical skills like counting, addition, subtraction, and measuring. Each colorful illustration includes an interactive math problem for children to solve. This book makes it fun to learn math-and to share God's kindness with the world.

What a great way to intermingle math exercises into a story about kindness. A clever way to bring what can sometimes be a not-so-fun subject into a fun story. I would definitely use this for an older age-group, elementary.
