Missing Math: A Number Mystery

Missing Math: A Number Mystery by Loreen Leedy is geared for children grades kindergarten-second grade. I agree with this, but I think it could be implemented into upper grades as well. This book can be read to any class that is discussing math and numbers. Missing Math: A Number Mystery is a fun book to read; at least I thought so. It is full of rhymes and a mystery about numbers disappearing and a detective trying to find them. This book shows where we see numbers in everyday life. I think the text and illustrations in this book are very good because the illustrations are detailed well and the text is different fonts and all over the page which draws a readers eyes in to the story. The different texts and illustrations help the reader know the excitement and wonder that is filled throughout the book in trying to figure out where the numbers have all gone. I think this book could be read to anyone and implemented into any classroom, maybe at the beginning or middle of the year, when discussing numbers, math, and other places we find numbers.
