My second-grade class has really enjoyed the problem-solving and interactive elements of this series. As a teacher, I love the way that this book integrates reading and math standards in such an engaging way. We used this book as a read-aloud. Every time we got to a challenge in the book, I would pause the book and students would work in groups to solve the challenge. The students loved the way they needed to figure things out together, and it really helped to deepen their understanding. My whole class loved this book so much!
