On the whole I enjoyed this brightly-illustrated, well laid-out book which teaches multiplication by depicting increasing numbers of pairs. The pairs themselves take the form of people engaging in volunteer work and related community-based activities. The combined focused of pairs and civic engagement is perhaps a bit niche, but in this case it feels genuine and is executed pretty successfully. ( )

Take two people working together for good, then 2 pairs, 3 pairs, and each time more and more gets done. Keep up the increasing pairs to become a group effort, a community effort, and with 50 pairs of people there is no limit to the good they can do!
Excellent!
The illustrations by Laura Watson are delightful, imaginative, and colorful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from 4U2B Books & Media via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )
