Editorial Reviews

Lucy’s parents own The Pizza Palace, and they offer 100 different kinds of pizza. Lucy, however, likes just plain cheese. One afternoon, her parents tell her that they have won a contest, and is Lucy excited. Her favorite TV star, Flory Glory, is going to come to The Pizza Palace. Lucy and her best friends prepare a welcome sign. Then the big day arrives. Wow! A limo, red carpet, and large entourage are all part of the hubbub when Flory arrives. When she orders plain cheese pizza, the girls have a common bond. This then becomes the launching point for a math lesson which covers the next four pages. At the end of the text, there is a math activity (answer provided), a glossary, a listing of several older books about fractions, and a link to FactHound to find internet sites. This is a Green Level book in the “Math Read It Readers” series, which presents more complex ideas, extended vocabulary, and language structure.
