About the author
Edward Packard
170 books128 followersEdward Packard attended and graduated from both Princeton University and Columbia Law School. He was one of the first authors to explore the idea of gamebooks, in which the reader is inserted as the main character and makes choices about the direction the story will go at designated places in the text.
The first such book that Edward Packard wrote in the Choose Your Own Adventure series was titled "Sugarcane Island", but it was not actually published as the first entry in the Choose Your Own Adventure Series. In 1979, the first book to be released in the series was "The Cave of Time", a fantasy time-travel story that remained in print for many years. Eventually, one hundred eighty-four Choose Your Own Adventure books would be published before production on new entries to the series ceased in 1998. Edward Packard was the author of many of these books, though a substantial number of other authors were included as well.
In 2005, Choose Your Own Adventure books once again began to be published, but none of Edward Packard's titles have yet been included among the newly-released books.

This book is really good at showing fractions and keeping the reader engaged with the illustrations as well. i really like how it has a picture theme and also talks about real things. the children in the book use their imagination and helps children picture this in real life events. Also the illustrations help the most they actually compare the item to things such as salt shakers and spoons.

This is a great book for grades 4 and 5 to see how small numbers can really get. It allows for readers to follow two children and their dog on their journey to see how small numbers can be and what happens when numbers are this small. Its a great follow up to the Big Numbers book and its colorful illustrations will take you on a visual adventure.

In this book, we learn about really small fractions. The illustrations keep the reader engaged. The things in this book are real things and I like that. Also the illustrations help the most they actually compare the item to things such as salt and blood cells.

the adventures that I went through when I was bored I just read these books over and over again you would never get to the end of the story.

Should be called "Shrinking Dinosaurs" because they shrink one to one-trillionth of its size.
