Chimp Math:
Learning About Time from a Baby Chimpanzee
by Ann Whitehead Nagda & Cindy Bickel
Observe the growth of a baby chimp living at a Kansas zoo, and learn about different ways to measure time (such as clocks, calendars, timelines...)
We agree with School Library Journal, who promises that "youngsters will smile all the way through this engaging story that has many practical applications as well".
This
entire series is fabulous. The text is generally a bit long and the
photos are dated, but the application of math concepts to such an irresistible topic--baby animals-- make these engrossing and
educational books. If you like this book, check out other
books in the series on division,
fractions, graphing,
and subtraction.
