This was a really cute book about a lost gerbil and a boy who feels too small to help! Even though Tyson was the smallest of all the brothers, he had some really big ideas to help! Working together, using sizes and shapes, he was able to solve his issue. My three year old loved the pictures in this book! I also really loved the math pages at the end of the book as well!

This beautiful picture book tells the story of a lost gerbil and a small youngest sibling who uses his problem solving and other math skills to help find his furry friend. Using size and shape as part of problem solving, this book shows readers that there are real life applications for the math concepts they are learning at school. I also love that the character is Black and that some young readers will be able to see themselves in the story. It is also a bit of an underdog story because the smallest sibling is the one with the biggest ideas and the best strategies for solving the problem. All great growth mindset lessons for sure!

I would recommend this book to parents and teachers of children in the 5-9 age range. As a grade 3 teacher I could see this book in my class library, and would definitely recommend it to other teachers in my school in the k-grade3 range. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!

Really like this addition to the Storytelling Math series. Highly recommend. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this ahead of publication.

I really enjoyed this children's book. It hade a great narrative and included diverse characters. I look forward to adding this book to my kids collection and seeing them connect the dots on the problem solving included in this story.

I love it when books involve math in real life situations. We enjoyed reading this book. This book will add diversity to any bookshelf.

This book was very cute, especially for the kids who are the smaller ones in their family. It is a fun story that some kids may be able to relate to, especially if they have helped out because their size became a strength.
