Whole-y Cow!: Fractions Are Fun

24 pp. | Sleeping Bear | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-460-2 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tatjana Mai-Wyss. Cow attempts some un-farmlike activities: "One whole cow balanced on a peg, / got a little klutzy and hurt one leg." Fraction problems follow each rhyme: "What fraction of the legs is hurt? What fraction of the legs is not hurt?" It's a well-executed idea, illustrated with lively farm-centric drawings, but the math concept may be beyond the picture book set.
