Such a cute story, I would have loved this as a young child. This book incorporated addition into the story adding the toys that Albert is willing to give up. The book builds off of the last page adding as the book goes on. As you near the end of the book subtraction is introduced. This book is very cute and seems like a great book to incorporate in the classroom.

I think this would be a great book that teachers can utilize in there classrooms as well as parents can utilize when working on numbers with there young ones. The illustrations help capture the essence of the book and make the counting fun.

The book was great for kids! I loved how it shows the adding sequence at the bottom of the book. It also helps children picture how he got that number, it is clear and interactive and educational all at the same time, so I think it’s a great book for kindergartens to incorporate math in their reading or Vice versa. The level of this book is from

This book was secretly a mathematical book. I liked the way it was directly talking about math but had the equations at the bottom of each page. I think having the equations at the bottom of the pages leads the kids to understand that in our daily lives there is math. As a teacher, you could add more layers to the learning process to make this the center of a math lesson!
