Personal Review/Selection rationale: Highly regarded in reviews, this book, along with the series that contains it, discusses math concepts with humor and colorful illustration. The author has also published a series of books about grammar which I have seen and enjoyed. I plan to order this entire set(five titles) for my library. The publisher, Millbrook Press - a subsidiary of Lerner publishing, also offers other math-related titles for early elementary.
