<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Brian Cleary and Brian Gable bring their trademark sense of humor to the topic of money. Rhyming text and goofy cats introduceUS coins and bills and demonstrate how to count using pennies, nickels, dimes, and more.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this funny look at money, Brian P. Cleary and Brian Gable explain the basics of bills and coins. The comical cats of the wildly popular <strong>Words Are CATegorical(R) </strong>series show young readers how to count and combine pennies, nickels, fives, tens, and more. Peppy rhymes, goofy illustrations, and kid-friendly examples take the mystery out of money.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Rarely are books about money humorous, but the Math Is CATegorical series is renowned for its method: pairing peppy rhyming verse with silly cartoon illustrations of cats introducing a variety of elementary mathematical concepts. The book starts with a very basic explanation of the purpose of money, incorporating into the pages realistic illustrations of American coins and bills. Making change and equivalencies are also explored at length using kid-friendly examples of purchases such as pizza and pogo sticks. Although not explicitly stated, Cleary's text even alludes to issues of responsible spending and the importance of saving. <strong>Mathematical concepts can be daunting for children of all ability levels, but using such concrete examples in a storybook format makes this a spot-on introduction to some very abstract concepts. To be used either as a primary mathematics classroom resource or as a unique storytime offering</strong>. --<em>Booklist</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br>
