Each story is really a multiplication problem.
“The First Grade Class (6) raised butterflies (3). At 1 o’clock they set 8 butterflies free. 3 x 6 = 18.”
Subtle? Yes. In fact, I first I didn’t get it. I read the book aloud to a group of children from ages 7 to 16 (my children and several friends). Some got it right away, some got it after awhile (like me!), and others just could not understand it.
I think that it really appeals to visual learners! But everybody loved the book and wanted to take it off my hands!
“No, thank you. I’m going to keep it! I really like these books!”
Check them out at Times Tales! They promote education through imagination!
