Throughout the day and into the night various birds sing their songs, beginning with the woodpecker who taps a pole ten times and counting down to the hummingbird who calls once.

A collection of poems written in the form of mathematical problems and grouped according to seasonal themes.

This collection of nineteen poems are ideal for reading aloud in pairs.

"Come explore the hidden shapes in nature"--Jacket.

I's easy to count three of something...just add them up. But how do you count zero, a number that is best defined by what it's not? This important math concept is beautifully explored in a way that will inspire children to find zero everywhere.

Betsy Franco is back with a performance that explores a range of math topics--from fractions and time measurements to geometry and graphs--in a way that relates math to the daily lives of children. Illustrated by Priscilla Tey, whose clever mechanical "Numbots" guide readers through a surreal playground of calculated delights from multiplying mice to missing socks, from stinky scales to bug races.
