Review

A great book for introducing or reinforcing place value. A cute tale of a monkey's Banana Cafe and learning the basic rules of place value. The story uses place value charts including whole numbers and decimals. The mathematical vocabulary is on every page as monkeys make recipes for the Cafe. It explains the history of our number system is called Hindu-Arabic and it started in India. The pictures look like block prints.

Overall Book Score: good
