This book I would say is a good book that I would use for kindergarten through second due to its easy to follow poem. However, for kindergarten, I would probably use this book in a whole group lesson so that I can read the book out loud. This would prevent confusion over the nonsense words found in ...

The story is amusing, and believable, as I've come to expect from Jenkins. The counting with money bits were the point, so I shouldn't complain, I mean, it is right there in the title, and probably the contract specified that this should be a money-counting book. But still, it slows down the story.L...

There's a lot of realism here. 1. Kids are relentless once they decide on lemonade stand--nothing else will do. 2. It costs a lot to get started. 3.

11/10/12 ** I thought this book was more fun than 7x9=Trouble. I liked the subplot of the science fair that accompanied the difficulty with fractions. Also, the main character's struggles with revealing that he's going to a math tutor are an insightful addition. Finally, I could fully understand ...

11/6/12 ** Recommended for 2nd-4th graders. The main character is in 3rd grade and is struggling with learning his multiplication facts. The story is enhanced by the quirky KG sibling who "gets" math and is being put into a class for older students, and by the class hamster.Favorite line (from an ...

Probably an ok story for a school-aged child. I read this to my nephew tonight, and he lost interest pretty quickly. The story is a bit longer, certainly a kid would have to understand the concepts of a math and science class in order to get the most appreciation out of it. I may hand it to my ni...

My 6-year-old son and I just finished reading through these poems at bedtime. Even though it's a "very first" book, he loved them as a bigger kid too. There were a few funny selections, but mostly they were quiet and sweet poems, with perfectly matched illustrations by Karas. It'd be a great baby gi...
