My kids really enjoy this book. The only thing that concerns me are the character traits that the children show; although it's a cute story most of it has to do with a brother and sister fighting over every little silly thing. While it's easy to relate to and is humorous, I wouldn't want my children speaking to each other that way.
OK -- this book got the job done as a math reader. The concept of area was VERY CLEARLY described, shown, and taught. If your child has a glimmer of understanding in mulitplication, then they will "get" the concepts in this book. The text AND the illustrations work together and get the job done. Great teaching tool.I'm giving only four stars instead of five because of the flat-out obnoxious sibling rivalry on parade in this story. Usually I think Stuart J. Murphy's books do a great, GREAT job modeling nice behavior for children, but this book didn't measure up (a pun!)
Excellent book for helping students connect the array model of multiplication to real-world math.
