"Zero the Hero", "The Backwards Watch" and "Skippyjon Jones"
This was a fun mix ranging from some simple math to grandparent woes to crazy cat antics.
Zero the Hero
5 stars
Author: Joan Holub
Illustrator: Tom Lichtenheld
What does zero do? After all, it stands for nothing making it a waste of space in addition and subtraction, never part of division and negates everything in multiplication.
In this delightful book Zero is a superhero - or is he? It explores all the problems and uses of a zero in math.
The Zero superhero is a fun figure as he zips through the air or drags on the ground in defeat.
The Backwards Watch
4 stars
Author: Eric Houghton
Illustrator: Simone Abel
Sally is visiting her grandfather. She loves getting into things and getting dirty. Of course, He never did such things - or did he? she finds out when she winds his watch backwards.
The illustrations capture the fun and adventure of young children playing.
Skippyjon Jones
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Judy Schachner
Skippyjon Jones is a little boy Siamese cat who loves to be noisy, lively and go on imaginary adventures. The stories are humorous and cute.
The illustrations make the stories even better.
The text uses some simple Spanish words mixed in.
