How do little girls split 3 marshmallows between two cups. This toddler book is an early look at math. It works well so a simple story. I do like that the illustrator used POCs in his illustrations

The Last Marshmellow by Grace Lin helps children to understand not only math, but also the concept of sharing and working together to find a solution for an issue. The colors are vibrant, and the blues and reds bring my senses back to winter and the holiday seasons.

Something else I loved was 'a cup for me/a cup for Mei', as it will help children understand the difference a letter can make in a word.

This book includes activities for children and parents to do that will foster their learning.

This story gives a simple way to introduce math concepts in a living way for young minds to easily understand. The vibrant pictures and real-world examples can help show that math is fun, not intimidating.

I really like that there are “Exploring the Math” and “Try This!” sections at the end! This is so helpful for taking it from just a story to an actionable lesson and activity that sticks!

Thank you NetGalley and Charlesbridge Publishing for the opportunity to read "The Last Marshmallow" in exchange for my honest review.

This colourful book can be incorporated into any STEM curriculum to help young children start to explore math concepts. To help parents and educators pose the question to children "how can we use math every day?"

This book is a wonderful introduction to children of the concepts of division and fractions. It can show them how fractions are not a scary or difficult thing to learn because we use them every day. The children in the book decide to share or split an extra marshmallow and that is division and fraction in its simplest form.

Parents or educators can ask children how to divide certain items that they have gathered among a given number of people. They can be asked to divide items between 2 people and ask them how they would divide 4, 6 or 8 items and then bring in fractions by asking them to divide 3, 5, or 7 items among the same 2 people.

I love the illustrations in Grace Lin's books; they are so vibrant, yet simple. This is a cute book about counting and sharing with friends.

I am huge into early math so I was VERY excited to get my hands on these Grace Lin board books. It touches on fractions/division and sharing which is always wonderful. The illustrations are lovely and it has great math and seasonal appeal.

A cute and simple board book perfect for introducing young children to basic counting/5K math (and to encourage sharing). I also love how Grace Lin's illustrations are always cute and inclusive in their diversity.
