Love this book
Format: Paperback
I love this book! I love it so much that I bought it and realized when it arrived that I already have two copies of it! I will share it with my colleagues. It is a great book to use to teach the concept of division. We even acted it out, using different scenarios! So much fun!

Cookies illustrate food for thought
Format: Paperback
This is a delightful book. My two and four year old granddaughters just love it! They were taken by the children's generosity in sharing their cookies with a seemingly unending line of friends and relatives. It is great that the ending event reinforces this spirit of generosity. In addition to the idea of sharing, children can also think about and learn a little basic arithmetic. The illustrations are cheerful, colorful, and speak to diversity among people. Much food for thought in this little gem. ... show more

great division intro
Perfect for introducing division in an elementary classroom. I read it through once, while the students listen. During the second reading, they begin drawing the division problems as they appear. They work together to complete the pictures and show the correct algorithms.
