My 4 and 6 year old girls LOVE it! July 31, 2008
Christina Liu (Lake Mary, FL United States)
This is a fabulous book for introducing the concept of negative numbers and the number line! My girls (6 and 4) both LOVE this book! The rhythm and repetition of the text is great, and my 4 year old can recite entire verses from this book! "Negative Nine was down all the time. He was down all because of his size and his sign..." and "I need to find MY place on this Great Number Line." The pictures are cute, not overdone, and get the points across beautifully. This is a very well thought out, well-done book! I sure hope that there will be other books that can be written in the same style to explain other mathematical concepts as well!
