A Beach for Albert

(4) K-3 Mouse Math series. Illustrated by Deborah Melmon. In these purposive installments, mouse siblings Albert and Wanda learn about direction through rides at an "amousement park" and about capacity when they try to fill a bowl in the sandbox with water. Scared adequately illustrates directional vocabulary, while Beach's elucidation of volume is fairly vague. Soft illustrations of friendly mice welcome readers to the concept lessons. Two activity pages are appended. Review covers these Mouse Math titles: Albert Is NOT Scared and A Beach for Albert.
