Seeford's Spot

Reader, not a writer, and like to keep it that way - I'd rather be reading!
Tyrannosaurus Math - Michelle Markel, Doug Cushman T-Math counts and figures everything he sees, from the moment he's hatched when he starts counting his siblings to how a yummy herd of dinos can be apportioned so that he and his sibs all get to eat an equal amount, with much in between. His Mama Rex is always appreciative and though his siblings don't care much at first for his figuring, at one point his math skills save the day and they all have a new appreciation for how handy math can be.

My daughter is loving this book. Wonderful little story and cute pictures illustrate different math concepts (with an explanation page for parents at the end of the book.) Covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, basic fractions, estimation, measuring, and more. Uses the real names of the different kinds of dinos (with a pronunciation guide in the front of the book.) She's read it 6 times and doesn't want to return it to the library, so this is a must-purchase for our home library.
