An interactive picture book specifically written in rhyming narrative couplets by Paul Epner and lively illustrated by Bill Reed for children ages 6 to 10, There's A Dachshund In My Bed! is the story of a dachshund puppy who is trying to get to sleep by creatively counting animals using different mathematical operations. Children are introduced to the names given to groups of different animals as well as learning how to work on the math problems that are interwoven into the engaging and thoroughly entertaining story. The vocabulary enhances the young reader's understanding of math operations in words. The math problems are sequential and each builds upon the answer from the previous page. A clear pictorial summation of the math solutions is provided at the end of this enthusiastically recommended picture book which is an ideal addition to homeschool, community library, and grade school library collections.
