Strategies for adding and subtracting

I like the different strategies for teaching addition and subtraction to teach elementary students. I plan on giving a copy of the book to my grandchildren.

AWESOME BOOK - DO YOU HAVE THE TOPICS OF MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION, TOO?

I got this for my niece, whose three children are 8, 7 and 5...they got it today and absolutely LOVED it...and the first question was, “does she have a book for multiplication and division too?” Do ya? If not, does one of your existing titles cover those topics? THANK YOU!!!

What is up with this mouse?

I am most of the way through this book with my very young child. We are an extremely math-positive household and I don't really like the use of the mouse who doesn't like math / does it very begrudgingly. I would have much preferred a more straightforward positive presentation -- say, the Danica character and a confused but enthusiastic mouse or other creature.

I think the math presentation is solid and the various strategies for addition and subtraction are excellent overall (perhaps the use of currency came in a little soon -- my kiddo has a strong number sense but no strong knowledge of dollars/dimes/pennies so introducing them along with place value wasn't great for us), but I am not convinced this book will be good for my child's love of math when all is said and done. As such, I would be reluctant to fully recommend this book for children whose attitudes about math are still developing.
