Editorial Reviews

Rhyming text is great for vocabulary building and to help young learners retain what they hear/read. Mix in age-appropriate math concepts and add illustrations that are full color photographs combined in fun designs (the cover for example), and you have a recipe for books that are sure to appeal to preschoolers. Each book has an activity at the end to reinforce learning. The questions help the young reader think about what they have seen, as well as help the educator evaluate for understanding.

(3) PS Math Every Day series. Stock animal photos illustrate basic concepts-big/small, short/tall, wide/narrow. Patterns in nature (e.g., tree rings, a snail’s shell) and patterns in architecture, clothing, and more encourage visual discrimination and create interest in the variety of patterns in our surroundings. The books’ rhyming texts, large size, short index, and easy puzzles are appropriate for early pre-schoolers. – Paula M. Cairo The Horn Book Guide Fall 2012 issue
