Children's literature in mathematics has been a valuable tool for developing positive attitudes toward mathematics as well as for exploring mathematics. This book provides annotated bibliographies of children's literature books emphasizing mathematics education. Each review describes the book's content and accuracy, its illustrations and their appropriateness, the author's writing style, and indicates whether activities for the reader are included. Chapters in this book include: (1) "Early Number Concepts"; (2) "Number-Extensions and Connections"; (3) "Measurement"; (4) "Geometry and Spatial Sense"; and (5) "Series and Other Resources". (ASK)
