Combining subtraction word problems with visual cues is this book's strength. This short, 206-word book uses a rhyming text and photographs to help beginning readers learn to read and subtract. It begins with explaining what subtraction is and words we use when referring to subtraction. Next it tackles the concept of counting back. This might be a bit confusing to children learning subtraction for the first time. The illustrations and text show the reader how to try it. Word problems using actual subtraction sentences and real life items are in the next section. Illustrations use cookies, letters in a name, seashells, candy, and apples to show how to subtract. The back matter includes a glossary of four math terms used in the book, a short recommended reading list, an internet site for addition practice, and an index. For teachers, it also includes the word count, grade level, and early-intervention reading level. This text would work well in a kindergarten or first grade classroom. It would also be useful for English language learners and their teachers. This book is part of the "Pebble Math" series. Reviewer: Marcie Flinchum Atkins
