Lynn Reiser Hardworking Puppies 40pp/ Harcourt Trade Publishers 2006
ISBN 0152054049 $16.00 (Primary)
Hardworking Puppies by Lynn Reiser is definitely a fiction book that every kindergarten classroom should have. Reiser uses simple but exciting text to guide young readers through a basic math lesson on subtraction. As each hardworking puppy finds a job, the young reader witnesses a new subtraction problem. This book can easily be compared to Eileen Christelow’s book Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. Both books use a creative storyline to show readers how easy and fun counting down by 1's can be. Reiser’s illustrations in this book, made by using sharpie markers and watercolor paint, only adds to the enjoyment of reading this book!
