I love the subtraction slide-and-see book, 10/10, but this addition one doesn’t rhyme like the subtraction one does. Not only that, but it doesn’t even have complete sentences on the page. I have to adapt it so it doesn’t feel so awkward to read.

How the text is written on page 1: “One circus bear…” “add one more…” [slide and see answer to equation] “makes two circus bears!”

Also this isn’t necessarily bad but an important note, it does 1+1, 2+1, 3+1, 4+1, and then 5+5 for some reason??

I don’t know. The 3yo, the 4yo, and the 6yo I read it with (who also loved the subtracting one) still liked it with my revised words, but in my opinion it just isn’t worth the money.
