About the Author

I always thought of books like a treasure chest, and the illustrations, like windows to look inside. My mother says, I was born with a pencil in hand...my left hand. I drew before I was able to speak. When I was eight years old, we moved into a new home, a big one. Our hobbies-room in this new home was so white that I had an idea. I decided to make it more colorful and I filled the walls with my characters. The ceiling was the only place that was not touched by my pencils. This was the beginning of my artist's freelance career. Since then, my funny characters have stayed with me everywhere, at grade school first, then at University in Rome where I studied Art and Literature. Now, the characters share the attic where I work, with me and my sweet black dog, Luna.

Reviews

Following the same format as the Word Fun series, appealing illustrations and simple passages take the reader from simple addition of 1 bear + 1 bear = 2 bears to presenting the idea of adding multiple, fun items of 8 red bracelets on one arm and 8 pink bracelets on the other = 16 bracelets. Concludes with a brief glossary, more books to read, web sites, and an index.-- "Teacher Librarian"

Simple text and great illustrations make this book a great resource in the classroom. Showing plus telling students how to write math problems gives them a clearer picture of math. Very well done- would recommend the entire series for all elementary schools.-- "Fort Street Elementary"
