In this third book in the Busy Little Hands series, preschoolers are introduced to the idea that math is everywhere and numbers are fun! Each page features lots of bright pictures for pre-readers and each activity is designed for little mathematicians to play with numbers as they count, compare, measure, and make patterns using toys, snacks, and other items that are part of everyday life.
