Review

"Peg + Cat: The Lemonade Problem" by Jennifer Oxley and Billy Aronson is based off of the PBS television series (which was in turn based off of the book "The Chicken Problem" featuring Peg and Cat). The series is intended to inspire and teach preschoolers about math. Peg and Cat want to run a lemonade stand, trading cups of lemonade for marbles because Peg wants to collect more marbles. The math focus of the book is on "more than" and "less than" and uses graphs too. The story is funny and it makes it fun to learn about math. It will mostly appeal to fans of the show. Not a must-buy. ~Reviewed by Kate Radke

Overall Book Score: good
