Review From cover to cover and endpaper to endpaper, this is a wonderful, multi-layered book. Apart from being a terrific, superbly illustrated story, its overflowing with classroom potential […] I love that it shows how the imagination and creative thinking, and a fascination with facts, can sit side by side. * Red Reading Hub *In this delightful new book, mathematical concepts are explained in story, through the lens of everyday experiences. It also touches on friendships, with Maddies interests impacting on her ability to connect with others. With mathematical words throughout, including on the end papers, children can extend their language as well as enjoy the story. Stunning illustrations, with double-page spreads, really bring this magical book to life, offering points for discussion beyond the text. * Teach Primary *This clever book not only tells a lovely story of new friendship but skilfully starts the process of demystifying the whole language of maths and shows how it can hold the key to mind-expanding notions such as stars, galaxies and planets. To underline the message, the words are sprinkled again across the night sky that fills the front and end papers of the book. * The Letterpress Project * Details ISBN1529508738 Author Gabriel Evans Pages 32 Audience Age 4-8 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Year 2023 Illustrator Gabriel Evans ISBN-13 9781529508734 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-09-07 Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-09-07 NZ Release Date 2023-09-07 UK Release Date 2023-09-07 ISBN-10 1529508738 Audience Children / Juvenile DEWEY 823.92 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
