Whole-y Cow: Fractions Are Fun

Easy read, fun learning for 7 year old. Even helped me remember fractions as a senior citizen. Enjoying with my grand children .

This book is okay, it is not grammatically correct in places (I presume due to the translation?). It is a bit of fun when helping to introduce fractions although it is not mathematically correct to halve a cow in the way shown in the illustrations. All said and done there aren't many books out there to help gain the interest of little ones when introducing the concept of fractions.

Whole-y Cow! is a great book. The story is so fun that kids don't even realize that they are learning. The illustrations are whimsical and colorful. My 4 year old likes to refer to it as the "silly cow book". He doesn't yet understand all the fractions, but I like that he is hearing the verbiage. He will no doubt be able to better relate to the real life examples behind the concepts. We like the book so much I'm ordering one for my 7 year old niece for her birthday.

Whole-y Cow is a short, whimsical story infused with discovering fractions and developing a love for math. As an English major (me), who is wholly daunted by the prospect of teaching my daughter math one day, I adore this book. It is a perfect trifecta: clever, fun and educational. A personal note to the author, Taryn Souders: any plans to write sequels, teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, too? ;)

I bought "Whole-y Cow! Fractions are Fun" to read to my third grade students. They loved this book! I bought the hard back version so that it would last longer, as I intent to use it for many years to come. This book relates counting to fractions in a way that my students were able to understand easily and have fun with. My favorite part of the book is that there are questions as part of the book. Without having to think, I have ready-made questions available for the students to answer. When the students select this text from the classroom library, or during centers, they have questions on hand to ask their partners. I am getting another one for one of my other third grade teachers soon! I definitely recommend this book to anyone that has students studying fractions.
