Amazingly good

My almost-8 year old daughter has hundreds of books, but which one does she want me to read to her EVERY NIGHT? _Math Potatoes_. I read the little rhyme, then she solves the math problem. I'm going to get some more from this series. She loves it. I love it because it teaches problem solving and math. It's very cool. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Math Potatoes is a Smath Hit!
