Easy, fun, and educational. Visual learners can watch the teddies add more and more. And kinetic learners can copy the action with their own teddy bear manipulatives. Catchy speech  bubbles accompany lively verse as teddies add single-digit and  double-digit numbers from one to fifty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Playful rhymes and hands-on interaction make this book perfect for use with bear counters and other classroom manipulatives.This short, easy-to-swallow picture book is a solid introduction to  addition. Readers learn the basics through a combination of a rhyming  narrative and teddy bears with speech bubbles that explain in simple,  clear language the math concepts being illustrated. While the rhyming is  cute and makes the book an enjoyable read-aloud, it could be a bit  distracting for children who are using this book to really learn about  addition; it could have been removed entirely, leaving more space for  the teddies, who are doing the actual teaching. The use of primary  colors and backgrounds comprised of clutter-free white space make this  book both straightforward and visually stimulating. As well as learning  how to add, readers will also begin developing a math vocabulary, with  words like \"equation,\" \"addend,\" and \"sum\" easily explained by simply  reading the instructions. Those who struggle with reading could still  gain quite a bit from looking at the pictures. Nihoff’s illustrations  rely upon color-coding and a large font that distinguishes each numeral  from the others-–a helpful detail for those with dyslexia and other  reading disorders. For libraries with math sections that need an update,  this book is a great option.\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara Barbieri McGrath\u003c\/b\u003e has written over twenty books for children, including \u003ci\u003eThe Little Gray Bunny\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Little Red Elf\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Little Green Witch\u003c\/i\u003e, and many bestselling math concept books. Her love for writing, children and making learning fun was the inspiration for her first children's book, \u003ci\u003eThe M\u0026amp;M Brand Counting Book\u003c\/i\u003e, which sold over 1 million copies. She lives in Natick, Massachusetts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim Nihoff \u003c\/b\u003eis the illustrator of \u003ci\u003eOtter Everywhere\u003c\/i\u003e (Candlewick).
