Description
The Arithmechicks are headed to the beach! Their good friend Mouse is going to compete in a sandcastle contest. The chicks are excited to play all sorts of beach games—including volleyball and surfing—as they cheer on Mouse. Readers are invited to add and subtract as these math-loving chicks also explore fact families—and to watch as Mouse, along with their new friend Crab, create a magnificent sandcastle! Will they win a prize?
This book includes a helpful glossary that defines fact families, providing a playful introduction to essential math for young children and their caregivers.

This book is an excellent opportunity to bring literacy into the math classroom. The arithmechicks offer several opportunities to practice basic addition and subtraction facts and to learn about fact families. There are four basic (under 10) fact families explored in the story, but I think that it would be fairly easy to go beyond just those mathematical concepts to look at story problems and word problems, explore vocabulary related to addition and subtraction concepts and create their own story and math problems.
The pictures are fun and inviting and the words are fairly easy to understand. I could see this being used as a shared reading or read aloud experience, but I think that lots of children in the K-2 range would find this book accessible. It would also be a good fit in those classrooms because of the ties to basic numeracy concepts that are woven throughout this book. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book!
