Arithmechicks add up - Ann Marie Stephens

This exuberant picture book demonstrates key maths concepts to children as ten maths-loving chicks make a new friend. As the Arithmechicks slide down the slide, swing on the swings, and play hide-and-seek, they don't realize that a lonely mouse is copying them, longing to join in. However, when their basketball becomes stuck, the chicks discover that a two-inch-tall new friend is exactly what they need. In this heart-warming story, there are many ways to add up ten cheerful chicks - but a new friend is what makes them cheer. The book includes a helpful glossary that defines the eight arithmetic strategies the chicks use throughout the story, providing a playful introduction to essential maths for young children and their caregivers.
