The Great Divide: A Mathematical Marathon

26 pp. | Candlewick | November, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0442-9 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tracy Mitchell. From eighty to forty to twenty and down to one, a group taking part in a cross-country race is continually divided in half by various accidents and natural disasters. The book's math pattern is fudged at the end in order to provide one winner, but the rhyming text is bouncy, and the colorful folk-art paintings with snazzy racing-checker graphics show grannies, clowns, cowpokes, pirates, and convicts, among others, as participants.
