A mountain trek with numbers in tow

Ten goats make an ordinary journey up the mountain a playful setting for exploring early addition. As the goatherd works to keep the group together across rivers and cliffs, the story brings counting, number lines, ten frames, number bonds, and grouping into the adventure. The mathematical ideas are woven into the goats’ travels and their knack for adding, giving the book an interactive dimension for young readers to follow along with the numbers. Its nod to “The Ten Billy Goats Gruff” places the learning within the familiar shape of a fairy-tale journey.

Book overview

From the author of the How To Hatch series and the award-winning illustrator behind Dexter, Nudi Gill, In a Cave, and the ChildhoodMilestones series comes a unique story that combines counting, addition, and the Ten Billy Goats Gruff in a mathematical fairy tale that will delight budding readers and mathematicians alike.

An everyday trek up the mountain becomes the perfect opportunity for a young goatherding mathematician to teach his goats a little maa-th. Trying to keep ten goats together proves to be a challenge, but mathematics makes everything easier, especially when your goats prove to be good at addition...and staying on track. The goats and their goatherd cross rivers, climb cliffs, and meet unexpected friends, all while playing with numbers in a fun, interactive way. With illustrations that cleverly depict number lines and ten frames, this picture book is sure to have young readers counting along.

A great read-aloud for classrooms, libraries, and homeschooling, this book includes early addition concepts including number lines, counting up, number bonds and grouping.
