Author: Joy N. Hulme
Illustrator: Carol Schartz
Recommended Grade Level: The recommended grade level will be k-2nd grade.
Common Core Mathematics Standards Addressed: The two standards that perfectly fit this book are: 1.OA.1. Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem and 1.OA.2. Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Summary: This book is a math concept book, it’s about addition and subtraction. It starts like this the (name of fish) its hungry and start going around its habitat looking for food. The author uses eight-line singsong rhymes to show sea creatures on each double-page spread. Example of addition and subtraction are introduced, and the equation is shown at the bottom of the page. For example, "A stingray digs two sandy clams,/Down on the ocean floor./Then plows around until it finds/ One...two...three...four more./It chews three clams for breakfast/And crunches three for brunch-/So all the clams are gobbled up/And none are left for lunch." At the bottom of the page is the equation: 2 clams + 4 clams - 3 clams - 3 clams = 0 clams.
Rating: I will give this book a 9 , because I really like the visual of it and also the setting. Also, I like this book because it can be use to teach Social Studies as well. I think this book will have students to be focus because they will want to know what next?
Classroom Ideas: I will use this book to read aloud and having them to create their own number story by using this book as model for them. I also used this book to have reader’s theaters done. They will have to pick the favorite part of the book and act it out.
