Love it!
We adore these Math Start books as living books in our elementary education to teach math concepts! The physical application of concepts in the story helps me as an educator come up with better activities to apply new concepts! The illustrations are beautiful and the books are to the point and uncomplicated. Love these as a resource to introduce new units!

STEM book
The book combines counting with building blocks and throws in some imagination. The boy builds a tower and in each stage imagines what he has built is - from a robot to a rocket ship. You count up to like 17 blocks or something. It is definitely for young kids. I am using it as a part of STEM curriculum for preschoolers through kindergarten.

They are simply fantastic! Mr
We have most of the MathStart books. They are simply fantastic! Mr. Murphy has a knack for simplifying the concept for little kids and the illustrations are very striking. We read a new one every week and read it once a day (an idea borrowed from a friend).The books also have some activities that go with the concept.
