| Ages 3-5. In this level 1 MathStart book, Murphy introduces the concepts of matching sets, or one-to-one-correspondence. On a sunny beach, Turtle makes a batch of seaweed soup and invites his friends Crab, Sandpiper, Seagull, and Clam to join him for lunch. One by one, his friends come to the table, requiring Turtle to produce an additional place setting. The lunch is a success, and at the close, Turtle produces another whole pot of the savory stuff. Adults will want to read through this book before sharing it with children so that they can guide discussion about Turtle's table-setting dilemma. A graph will help children review what they've learned, and two pages of ideas for extending the book are appended. Remkiewicz's appealing illustrations encourage children to match sets and count items in each set. Kathy Broderick. |
