Crash! Boom!: A Math Tale

(3) PS Illustrated by Chris Chatterton. A blue elephant child determines how many square blocks she needs to stack vertically to create a tower "as tall as ME!" When the blocks topple, she also crumbles ("OH NO-OOO...") before realizing that blocks stack sturdier horizontally. Harris successfully pairs basic math and building concepts with a toddler's realistic emotional crisis; both components are enhanced by Chatterton's cleanly rendered art.
