Divide and Ride (MathStart) Book

Divide and Ride is an educational book about 11 friends who go to the carnival. They start to run into issues when the rides they want to ride do not fit the friends equally. Their solution is to add some outside friends. Until, they get to last water ride and have to figure out who will ride with them.
The first literary element of Divide and Ride is setting. The book takes place at a carnival. This is known because the book states on the first page that the friends are having a carnival day. Also, for evidence, all the rides that they ride show they are at some sort of amusement park. The second literary element is point of the view. Divide and Ride is written with an omniscient point of view. This is because there is no specific person that the story is about, it is about all the children at once. For example, the author uses "we" talking about all the children.
The first visual element is the use of double spread. For all of the pages, the illustrations carry on throughout both pages. I feel this is because the information that the author is trying to convey will not fit on both pages and the illustrations help show the text. For example, because the book is teaching a child to divide, when the children are getting on the roller coaster and have one person left over, the author explains how the eleven children can not be divided by 2. The second visual element is bleed. All of the illustrations carry on throughout the whole page. The colors on the page are also very bright, which help may hold the child's attention. Especially because there is a lesson of math in the book.
The books nonfiction genre is cause and effect. For example, the children are faced with the problem of not having enough children to ride the ride and they have to figure out with they are going to do. This issue is presented on every page of the book.
