Riassunto:

“Kids, young and old, fall in love with math when they see how real-life and effortless it becomes thanks to these books.” —Kimberly D. Mueller, Ed.D., First Grade Teacher, Ashbrook School, Lumberton NJ

Too Many Kangaroo Things to Do! is perfect for teaching multiplication to second, third, and fourth graders. It’s Kangaroo’s birthday, but no one will play with him: not the emu, the platypuses, the koalas, or even the dingos. They all have too many things to do. What exactly are they doing? They’re using multiplication to figure out just how many things they have to do to plan a big surprise for Kangaroo!

Kids will love the story and the funny illustrations by Kevin O'Malley. Parents and other educators will love how the story and pictures make understanding comparisons a breeze—as well as the concrete examples of how math works!
