PreS-Gr 1—This series aims to use "cute or high-interest animals" to teach adding, measuring, take away, comparing, and skip counting. There's nothing exciting here but the texts do explain the concepts well. For example, Skip Counting starts with adding twos: 2+2=4; two more are added through basic addition: 2+2+2=6. At six, a number line is introduced, along with circling groups of two. The photos are clear and bright but repetitive. Teaching notes provide additional classroom activities. Questions that are asked are answered in the back. This set specifically targets the Common Core standards, going so far as to list the standards being addressed-a very useful addition for teachers.
