Mary Clare likes food and sharing. Watch her share a variety of foods with friends and family, splitting each into equal parts.

A simple read that highlights kindness and gives a visual intro to fractions.

This is a fun book that talks about fractions in an interesting and understandable way. Splitting up the food in equal portions to accommodate all of her guests is a neat way to show how fractions work.

This is a nice little book that teaches fractions through rhyming text. It is a great investment becauese little kids can enjoy the story and older kids can learn the concept of fractions! Oh, and the lesson of sharing! Love it!

I liked this book because someone had a birthday. Mary Clare had a birthday. It was June 18. She ate cake. She shared pie and she shared orange. She shared her birthday party. - Felicity
