Colossal Creature Count

 

Growing up, it seemed like no matter what I tried, I struggled at math. I found it hard and quite honestly, not interesting at all. My children have discovered this same thing, although they both seem to be very good at it so far. Barron's has discovered the perfect way to put together fun and learning so that kids actually want to learn. They have so many educational books and it has become my personal quest to have my boys try them all out. For math, one Barron's book I have been given as a review features counting animals in their own habitats, that book is Colossal Creature Count.

 

In Colossal Creature Count, You are given two side-by-side pages that show a scene in a certain habitat, and that habitat is covered in indigenous creatures. One of the pages will have an equation, and you're given the answer, the only problem is you have to use your seeking and counting skills to count certain animals and make their numbers add up to the total. The animals are in plain sight, but at the same time are hidden amongst lots of other animals! The challenges take you on a journey to the African savannah, a deep sea dive, the Himalayas, and even the Peruvian jungle. Over 18 habitats there are also 18 extra rare animals to check off while you're on your counting adventure. Can you find them all?

Barron's helps send you and your kids on adventures in learning and adventures that are fun, but also ones that teach you, sometimes without you even knowing it. Could you and your children use a small stay-cation? A getaway for a rainy day? Barron's Colossal Creature Count can give you that little dose of freedom and adventure, from the comfort of your own couch!
