My Odd Day, My Even Day & My Half Day
Books that make learning Math fun!
We recently received three delightful books that are a wonderful and fun way to introduce early elementary Math concepts. We received them for our friends at Sylvan Dell Publishing. The first book in the series by Doris Fisher and Dani Sneed is One Odd Day. It's a silly little learning adventure about a boy who wakes up one morning and to start off there are only odd numbers on his alarm clock, The rest of the day is an entertaining day full of odd numbers. I liked how this book will keep a young child's interest and the illustrations by Karen Lee are also very creative.
The next in this delightful series is My Even Day, which is the sequel to My Odd Day. It is similar to the first book but it is an Even Day starting with Mom having two heads. My son loved this one! It was his favorite of the series. He says "It is the coolest one!" It made him laugh and it is quite amusing. My son is already 7 years old and knows his Odd and Even numbers but he loved the book! Both books are great for children 4- 8 years old.
Looking for a book to teach about simple fractions? My Half Day is the book to do the trick! It is another silly and educational story about the same boy and his day involving fractions! Each book also has a section in the back of the books called For Creative Minds and it is very helpful. What I like best about all three books is how they make the simple Math concepts entertaining. Children that don't love Math will even enjoy these books a great deal.
Have your say
