Now What? A Math Tale


Now What? A Math Tale by Robie H. Harris, Illustrations by Chris Chatterton   32 pages
Puppy want to take a nap. Unfortuantely, he doesn’t have a bed. All he has is a bag of blocks.  As he looks at their different shapes, he begins to understand their names: rectangle, square, etc. He decides that he can build a bed, but soon realizes that there aren’t enough of each shape to make a bed for napping. As he begins to maneuver the blocks, he soon deduces that he can make a bed using the shapes he has. 

Althouth he has Bear by his side, Bear isn’t very helpful and there is no real need for him in the story.

A gentle way to introduce early math concepts to little ones.  Now What? A Math Tale” receives 4 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
