Publisher's Synopsis
You'll Double Over with Laughter! POP! Christopher's got egg all over his face (not to mention gum) when he gets caught with a mouthful of Whopping Watermelon Wonder at school! Double your fun with Christopher, as he counts by twos to get out of a sticky situation! Endearing, hapless Christopher is the star of a wonderful series of beautifully illustrated picture books. Each engaging, humorous take teaches children that math is all around us. Math concepts are conveyed through the text and "minds-on" activities embedded in every story. Also included is a Discoveries Page, which suggests simple math exercises connected with the illustrations. Each title in the "Christopher Counts" series is developmentally appropriate for ages 5-7, and conforms to the curriculum standards of the National Council to Teachers of Mathematics.
