COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 1—Ghahremani uses crisp, bold illustrations to introduce simple math concepts that go beyond the usual counting fare for the very young. The teetering tower of colorful cats in this title are more than just a pleasing collection of many-hued felines. "Four cats teeter. Five cats totter. Six cats prefer two stacks of three cats." The small, perfectly square size works seamlessly with the modern font, color, and lines. This could easily be told using felt or cutout pieces, and preschool teachers and parents will surely gain inspiration for their own cat stack games.
VERDICT A simple yet clever lesson that there's more than one way to stack some cats. Ideal for one-on-one and small group sharing.
