  • "How on earth do you divide five into three evenly? The answer is a smart and very basic look at the practical applications of dividing. And because this book is part of Charlesbridge’s Storytelling Math series, you’re going to get a nice explanation at the end of how to 'explore the math' with child readers."--Betsy Bird, Fuse 8 blog
