Book Reviews of 365 Penguins
Book Review: This book exceeded my expectations, I thought that "math" is fun might be a hard sell, I was wrong
Summary: 5 Stars
On New years day a penguin arrives with a note - I am number one, please feed me. Well it's strange, but on day two when another arrives, it's a little silly. But by day 7 the family recieving the penguins is getting a little frantic. By the end of the first month you have how many penguins? And February only has how many days? So by the end of February how many penguins do they have? How will they name them, how will they keep them (stack them, sort them, house them), how will they feed them and how much will it cost? Math is everywhere, but so are the silly penguins doing goofy things.
By December 31 the "mysterious" sender of Penguins arrives and is relieved to see that they all arrived safely, including Chilly the blue footed penguin. The Uncle gives you an ecology lesson and takes all but one penguin when he goes, and life returns to normal, but on January 1 a new surpise is waiting at the door.
The book is oversized 16 x 12, and the artwork is fun in retro blue, orange, black and white. My son thinks its a riot, he's 7. He likes to look for Chilly in the pictures, he likes to come up with names for the penguins, and he likes to count them and add them up.
This book definately sparks an interest in math, but it also lights up the imagination. We also have talked about what would be fun to get every day of the year. My son and I like our books with birds and this book is helping him to gain a little more confidence with numbers, and he sees now that numbers are every where. It's fun, I was blown away with how much he likes this book.
I think you could extend the ages on this book up to 9 or 10 because of some of the math concepts.
