Author Description

Nature walks are fun ways to explore science concepts in the real world, and they can also be fun ways to practice math. Through colorful illustrations, readers see a variety of cool creatures--from foxes and squirrels to butterflies and frogs. They're invited to count these creatures, practicing both their math and reading skills as they do so. The short, simple sentences allow readers to build their vocabulary with animal names and to enjoy independent reading. The interactive tone encourages readers to develop a deeper interest in math and an appreciation for the natural world.
