My Half Day

The wacky fun continues as a young boy awakens to find a half-head of hair. After chugging down his glass of milk that’s two-thirds gooey paste, he and his friend are off to camp for a day of fraction fun and an out-of-this world soccer game. The first two books in the series, One Odd Day and My Even Day, won a Learning Magazine’s 2008 Teachers’ Choice Award for Children’s Books. As with the series’ other books, the imaginative illustrations are sure to please young readers as they scour the pages for countless oddities hidden in the art! Miss Dodd is the ref for our soccer today! “Each goal counts FIVE- EIGHTHS,” she said. “Ready to play?” For Creative Minds: ‧ Fractions around us ‧ Measuring and fractions in recipes ‧ A special pizza party o pizza recipe o the science of pizza dough o pizza slices – which is bigger? Thanks to Mary Santilli, Presidential Award Recipient for Elementary Mathematics (CT 1991); for verifying the accuracy of the information in this book.
