Review
Beginning readers will enjoy this rhyming romp down Witch's Lane with a counting, friendly witch named Belinda. She loves to count and count she does with engaging text that is accompanied by delightfully creepy images. Basic math concepts such as length and width are also explored throughout the story.
Using a clever format similar to the "Where's Waldo" books, young readers will stay engaged by trying to find various spooky things from ghosts & cauldrons to dirty dishes and little mice.
The Backpage include on-line resources, author information, and references to other books in the scary math series.
This fun, interactive little book will help young readers build math and reading skills without being heavy handed. Especially fun at Halloween, but a book with staying power throughout the year.
Overall Book Score: very good
