Review:
Elephant and Piggie like to
read. Together they share a story about four friends who attempt to share three
cookies. They want to make sure each gets equal parts of the cookies. Hippo, in
a nervous state, accidently breaks the cookies in half and then half again. Fortunately,
for the friends, there are enough equal pieces for all to crunch and munch. All
are happy until a friendly cow shows up with 3 glasses of milk. What do you
think will happen next?
Author Mo Willems and
illustrator Dan Santat have created a hilarious story that will get beginner
readers thinking about addition, subtraction and even multiplication. Oversized
fun words that share emotion and illustrations with bright cheery colors like
blue, green and purple depict the animals in a cartoonish fashion. Parents and
teachers can use this as a guide to introduce sharing and mathematics.
