Sort it Out! makes early math concepts fun. It's an imaginative format that allows children to have fun and learn at the same time. Packy the Packrat has a chore to do. His mother is tired of the mess in his room. He sorts all his stuff by category and attributes. Barbara Mariconda manages to pull it all off in rhyme, no less.
There's room for a bit of reader participation, which adds to the fun. Watch Sherry Rogers' pictures—they're bright and colorful, but they also reveal a secret and if you're watching carefully, the anticipation will build.
All Slyvan Dell books come with additional activities in the back matter, so after the story, you can continue the fun and the learning. If you want to combine fun and learning, Sylvan Dell is your best bet.
