Brief Description of Content: Bright colored illustrations present odd numbers in a variety of circumstances. The diverse scenarios offer an opportunity to engage many different types of learners.
Personal Review/Selection rationale: The ability to preview the digital version of the book in Follett's Titlewave was a very useful tool. The bright illustrations and goofy animals should be engaging to kindergarten or first graders. Even second or third graders would find this book useful and entertaining.
