PreS-Gr 2--This lively easy reader introduces the number combinations that add up to 10. The text follows a group of 10 monsters through various outdoor activities. Each double-page spread illustrates a different combination: "Are the monsters ready to go? Ten say yes. Zero say no" or "Nine monsters come by air. One monster comes by land." The brightly colored, cartoon creatures are appealing. The book can be shared as a story, used for counting practice, or serve as a basis for more challenging math activities. Seven pages of games and riddles that reinforce the concepts covered in the text are included. Adults and children will enjoy sharing this outing.--Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY
