Customer Reviews

A keeper

Teaches math as the characters spend their tickets at an amusement park. Very cute illustrations. Stuart J. Murphy throws in a bit of good values training -- the other kids in the family must help the child who lost his tickets, and in the end he helps them back. Great book -- does what you want t amath reader to do (teach a little math). Best of all -- it's entertaining and they re-read it. This book is a winner.
