A humorous but informative introduction to size and distance
How Many Mice Make an Elephant? And Other Big Questions about Size and
Distance introduces children to this tricky maths concept in a
fun, relatable way.
Fantastically written by Tracey Turner, questions such as 'How many
high jumps to the moon?' and 'How many ice cubes make an iceberg?' get
children to think about just how high, how big and how far things are,
as well as teaching them the maths to work it out! The logic behind
each comparison is explained in clear, simple steps for children to
follow along, helping them to reach the answer.
Beautiful illustrations by Aaron Cushley couldn't be further from a
maths text book, making learning maths a truly fun experience.
This wonderfully illustrated take on maths-by-stealth includes an
introduction by Kjartan Poskitt, author of the bestselling Murderous
Maths series.
With over 60 flaps to lift, this colourful book gently introduces
important concepts such as size, comparisons and measuring. Young
children can spot a slow tortoise and a fast leopard, compare the
size of two boats, see which child is the tallest, and much more. A
fun introduction to a key early learning topic.
Bring your own Cheerios! On every page, there are pictures that need to be completed by adding Cheerios to just the right places. (No milk, please!)

Tasty, interactive fun that toddlers will love!

Whenever Jule Ann goes outside, a Mud Puddle jumps on her and gets
her muddy all over. But she defeats it with cheerful ingenuity and
two bars of smelly yellow soap. As in all Munsch stories, kids are
the heroes!
A little girl's urban neighborhood becomes a discovery ground for
all things round, square, and rectangular in this lyrical picture
book. Most items are Asian in origin, others universal: round rice
bowls and a found pebble, square dim sum and the boxes that the
pizzas come in, rectangular Chinese lace and a very special pencil
case. Bright, whimsical art accompanies the narrative rhyme, and a
short glossary adds cultural significance to the objects featured
in the book. Perfect for read-alouds or one-on-one sharing.
