I am not prone to reading books on arithmetic but when it is by Dr Seuss, I can make an exception. And when I can do the sums that are within the covers, it is even better!!
This is an excellent way to make learning arithmetic fun! The Crazy Cat in the Hat introduces this colourful activity book with 'Hi! I'm the Cat in the Hat, and together we're going to have lots of fun with numbers! You'll learn to add anchors, you'll learn to add ants. you'll learn to add hats and crocodile pants! There are things to count, colour and draw, so come on, what are we waiting for? Let's get started!'
And if that's not enough to get you going, it is soon time to do some arithmetical detective work by answering such questions as 'How many Wosels in closets?', 'How many Bofas on sofas?' and 'How many Zowers in showers?, all questions of course suitably illustrated with the zany creatures involved.
There are plenty of other sums to be done and also some which require the fun stickers that are included to be put in the appropriate place in certain sums and in the end the reader, or the children being read to will be able to echo Dr Seuss' final verse: 'I can add here/and all over town./I can add up/and upside down.' The latter two words relate to the challenge within the pages that have a couple of the sums done upside down.
It's all good fun and I now know that there were six Zillows on pillows!
