"These basic books are aimed at teaching students how important math is in the everyday world. The texts are minimal with one to two sentences per page. For example, ""The cashier counts money."" and ""The pilot measures how fast."" The color stock photos are attractive (if staged looking) and are successful in aiding reading comprehension. (""The vet counts heartbeats"" shows a picture of a man listening with a stethoscope to a horse's heart.) Although there are no math operations calculated, each book has four pages to questions that encourage readers to practice what they are learning, e.g., ""How many toes can you count?"" Answers are provided in the back of every volume. . . .may be helpful in career discussions and as introductions to real-world math problems.-- ""School Library Journal, Series Made Simple"""
