Reviews

In this follow-up to Bears Make the Best Reading Buddies (2016), Adelaide and her friendly bear are back to ace mathematics. Dressed in a sweater patterned with geometric shapes and arithmetical symbols, Bear is ready to tackle math assignments. . . .While it's a swift survey, it effectively conveys the importance of math in everyday life. Adelaide and her buddy will help kids get the whole picture.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
The lot of the math-related picture book is tricky indeed. So much pressure is placed on them to be interesting to kids AND to make math no longer the scary concept it can sometimes be. . . .This book does a really lovely job of normalizing math in the day-to-day.-- "A Fuse 8 Production"
Through this engaging companion to Bears Make the Best Reading Buddies, students will clamor to find their very own buddies, perhaps even learning a bit about applying mathematical concepts along the way.-- "Foreword Reviews"
