How much is 1+1? Think the answer is 2? Not always, as this playful approach to addition proves! David LaRochelle takes children on a joyful mathematical journey that will engage their minds and teach them to think about numbers in a creative, outside-the-box way.
Brenda Sexton's wild and wacky illustrations add layers of witty fun to LaRochelle's clever game.
These wacky equations don't add up…or DO THEY?
1 goat + 1 unicorn = 3 horns!
1 set of triplets + 1 set of twins = 5 babies!
1 duet + 1 quartet = 6 musicians!
1 ant + 1 spider = 14 legs!
1 century + 1 decade = 110 years!
For those who think math problems only have one right answer, this playful book offers a surprising number of solutions to 1+1. In one scene, a man and a cat push a wheelbarrow containing a pumpkin and watermelon. "1+1=hundreds?" asks a banner. The reasoning appears on the following page: "1 pumpkin + 1 watermelon = hundreds of seeds!" In another, the sun and moon grin at one another ("1+1=1?"). The explanation: "1 a.m. + 1 p.m. = 1 day!" An energetic and inventive spin on addition. Ages 5-up. (Sept.)

1+1=5: and Other Unlikely Additions
I like the divergent thinking here - 1 + 1 = 5 when 1 set of twins + 1 set of triplets = 5 babies. With each page turn, kids have to think about what 2 groups of some things could add up to a certain number. Most are pretty tough to guess: 1 duet + 1 quartet = 6 musicians. But it's a fun challenge for kids to then think of their own 1 + 1 groups. This could be fun to read with "One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab: a counting by Feet book" by April Pulley Sayre, Jeff Sayre, and Randy Cecil, or "This Plus That" by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Jen Corace.
