Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-17 00:00:00 Terr Bockl Spaghetti and Meatballs for All is written in a landscape style illustrations that are full-bleed and also bordered. The text is incorporated into the images. I feel children will enjoy the learning aspect of the story because it uses fun concepts and you don't think of it as "doing math". There are multiple different races of people. The illustrations are realistic and the children can relate to the story because this story can actually happen to kids. I thought it was helpful that at the end of the story there are three pages that explain the math problems that occur throughout the story.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-10 00:00:00 Monty Timmins This is a great book to help explore perimeters using real life-scenarios like planning a dinner. In this story, Mrs. Comfort had chosen the most economical way of seating 32 guests. As guests entered, they kept changing her set-up, which changed the number of people that could be seated. Young learners from grades 3 - 5 would enjoy working with the different possibilities of perimeters and how learning about perimeters could affect their own lives.
