Brilliant, teaching kids about word problems by giving a vivid example. Then adding a quiz to the book so that children can try out their skills in real life.
WHAT IS LITTLE SAM'S SECRET?
He solves math word problems by acting them out. Not only does he draw pictures. Sam also uses everyday objects -- which would be an excellent approach if you're still developmentally in the stage that Jean Piaget labeled "Concrete Operations."
Kids can even find a perfectly respectable equation on Page 13.
FIVE STARS for an excellent book.
