The Great Divide (Arbordale Collection) - Softcover

Slade uses an appealing formula to simultaneously teach readers about both animal collective nouns and division. Rhyming word problems followed by numerical equations introduce animal groups, including a -charm- of hummingbirds, a -crash- of rhinos, and a -tribe- of billy goats. - Publishers Weekly

Because this beautifully illustrated book uses the groups and numbers in the text to teach division, a teacher could use it as a picture book or to engage children in these mathematical concepts. - Library Media Connection

On each spread of this clever picture book, a rhyming verse introduces the collective noun for a particular type of animal and then asks readers to determine how many creatures would be in each -bale,- -mob,- etc., if the group were divided into smaller numbers. - School Library Journal

This rhythmic book introduces readers to division as they conquer bands, tribes, mobs and more.
