this book is all about team work and sharing .this book is lovely.
In my opinion , it is the best way to learn math
I hate it so much my 14 and 13 year old boys hated it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=(
Hi Emily, I’m sorry your boys had to read it… it’s aimed at 7-8 year olds, so I would imagine most 13-14 year olds wouldn’t like it at all! Unless they’re interested in creating kids books or lessons themselves, for an interest point. If you take a look at the category filters at the top, my feeling, from my cultural background, most 13-14 year olds will actually enjoy the Young Adult category, really hope that helps.
My son love it, thanks!
Ira, who is six years old, really likes the book. He said the book teaches him how to make lime juice and the measurements. I also think this books teaches about how to thankful to other people.
