CRASH! BOOM!
A Maths Tale
Age 3+
Early Learning: Numbers & Counting
Follow along as Elephant goes through the ups and downs of creating something new in this charming non-fiction picture book.
A lively introduction to essential maths concepts for very young readers. Elephant wants to build something tall. Something as tall as Elephant. But will it stay up? CRASH! BOOM! No, not this time... Hmmm... Build it again? 1 block. 2 blocks? 4 blocks? It’s still not as tall as Elephant. More blocks! Now will it stay up? Now will it be as tall as Elephant? Build, balance and count; question, estimate, measure; predict, crash, and build again with Elephant and a bucket full of blocks. Robie Harris's charming, boisterous text is perfectly complemented by Chris Chatterton's bold mixed-media illustrations.

Highly recommended…This is a lovely introduction to the ideas of trying things out, of experimenting, of overcoming disappointment and trying again, and is well suited to any classroom or home library where open minds are encouraged
