365 Penguins

Product Information

In this comical story, Eric Carle explores the concepts of size and time, using his trademark collage style with lots of bold colour and beautiful illustrations. Mr. and Mrs. Shape are expecting a baby, but they are surprised when three arrive! The first is just like Mother Rhombus, the other just like Father Rectangle, the third baby is a different shape. What should her name be? Go on a geometry naming adventure as all the shape family relatives weigh in. Will Cousin Triangle, Aunt Hexagon or Grandma Rhombus have the right angle? When will they receive half the penguins? What day is halfway through the year? (being an odd number, students will have to decide that is half way through the 182nd day.) Winter Wonderland!"

Investigate more calendar fractions by dividing the year into terms, seasons, number of lunar cycles etc. Talk about places in the world where the year is divided into halves: wet and dry seasons.

In all of these cases of organization, the book talks about the solution breaking at some point. Once you have 145 penguins, a dozen boxes of a dozen each isn’t enough. Once you have 217 penguins, you can’t organize them in a cube. (It’s not entirely clear why the family can’t buy more boxes or have an incomplete rectangular prism layer, though…) This playful counting book for the very young is a celebration of nature and imagination. Specially adapted by Graeme Base, the gorgeous illustrations guide children as they learn their numbers, discovering a whole menagerie of surprising and delightful creatures along the way. But the triangle finds this boring at some point, and seeks the help of a shapeshifter to become a quadrilateral. Ennui recurs and the former triangle moves through a transition successively into a pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, and decagon. For the first few shapes, the book outlines places you find these shapes in nature and human-made objects. A connection is also made as to whether those shapes provide juicy stories to tell friends.

I think that she actually found it somewhat interruptive, though, and wasn't interested in being pulled out of the story to solve a math problem. In the end I just read the story and let her appreciate it as a story. I did like the author's attempt to show kids real-world applications for math, since a common refrain is "when am I ever going to use this?!" Rosie the hen is going for a walk, but she'd better watch out – there's a very sneaky fox hot on her tail feathers! Rosie's Walk has become a beacon in the world of children's picture books, an ever-popular classic which generations have enjoyed. Children love the humour of this near-wordless story. At a wonderful larger size, this new book and CD edition will bring the joy of Rosie's tale and Pat's bold artwork to a new generation of fans. Read by Samantha Bond, and featuring original music and hilarious sound effects children will love listening to this classic tale again and again!

Again, don't try to analyze the sanity and the reasonableness of this decision. As I said, this is a fun book to play with maths and learn about months and days. I love it, but I can understand how this is not the favourite of all people especially seeing how illogical the entire storyline is. One penguin is delivered on each day, and they’re all delivered with notes. For the nth penguin, the note starts with, “I’m number n.” Throughout the book, the narration really reinforces the one-to-one correspondence between the day of the year and the number of penguins in the house. At the end of January they have received 31 of 365 penguins. How do we write that as a fraction? That is about what as an easier fraction?

In one minute, you can blink your eyes twenty times, hug your dog, plant seeds, say good-bye, watch the rain, or even save a life. So much can occur in this sliver of time—one minute can feel like a singular experience. This poignant picture book is at once an introduction to time for young readers, an ode to living each moment with purpose, and a thoughtful exploration of how children experience one minute (may it seem short or long) playfully, profoundly, and with a boundless sense of possibility.

Enjoy a day in one of the most dynamic habitats on earth: the salt marsh. Fun-to-read, rhyming verse introduces readers to hourly changes in the marsh as the tide comes and goes. Watch the animals that have adapted to this ever-changing environment as they hunt for food or play in the sun, and learn how the marsh grass survives even when it is covered by salt water twice a day. An activity on adaptations is included in the "For Creative Minds" section. Once there was a triangle that was -- as most triangles are -- always busy." The book points out some of the many frequent places where triangles can be found such as "holding up roofs, supporting bridges, making music, catching the wind for sailboats, being slices of pie . . . and more." "The triangle's favorite thing, however, was to slip into place when people put their hands on their hips." This last refers to the space between the arm and the body. The triangle likes this shape because "that way I always hear the latest news . . . which I can tell my friends." And his friends like that.
