Isobel Adds It Up

Math-loving kids, especially those who are often bothered by loud noises, will be happy there aren’t any elephants around.

Isobel is a problem solver . . . addition, subtraction, multiplication, division! But trying to figure out who is causing all the noise next door is one problem she can’t quite work out. Is it a marching band? A basketball team in the middle of a practice? Could it be a family of elephants?

Isobel doesn’t know what to do about all the noise, but the solution just might come from the most unlikely place!

Reviews

“An imaginative read-aloud recommended for teachers wanting to connect literacy and math and for public libraries looking to upgrade their collection of girl-empowering STEAM books.”

School Library Journal, STARRED Review!

“Not only is it refreshing to read a story about a little girl who loves math, but it is also exciting to read a book in which a child learns to establish boundaries in a way that is kind and fair[...]An adorable story about friendship and learning how to state your needs."

Kirkus Reviews

"You’ll fall in love with Isobel immediately and enjoy her journey as she solves both her math homework and the mystery of what’s making so much noise next door!"
