How do these blocks stack up? Gentle math concepts go down easy in
this fun and accessible story for very young children by the esteemed
Robie H. Harris.
Elephant has a bucket of blocks and wants to build something tall.
Something as tall as Elephant. But will it stay up? CRASH! BOOM! Not
this time. Build it again? One block. Two blocks? Four blocks? It's
still not as tall as Elephant. More blocks! Now will it stay up? Now
will it be as tall as Elephant? Build, balance, count -- question,
estimate, measure -- predict, crash, and build again! Young children
will happily follow along as Elephant goes through the ups and downs of
creating something new and finally celebrates the joy and pride of
success.
