Book Reviews of A Remainder of One
Book Review: Not what I was hoping for
Summary: 3 Stars
This book introduces children to the concept of remainders, and in a round about way, division. The problem is, children who would be learning this type of math may find the story to babyish for their tastes. There is no point to the story of marching ants other than to show that there is always one odd-ant out until a group can be formed to include all 25. As my son pointed out quickly in the book--"just use rows of 5 and be done with it", as well as, "why must that ant always be the one left out--he should just switch places with another ant!" Out of the mouths of babes! He suggested 3 stars on a scale of 1-5 and that is about right. I can see this book being used by an educator as a starting to point in a classroom to discuss equal groupings, but do not look for it as a good bedtime story--the story alone is not compelling. I would check out a copy from the library before you invest in the book for your own collection. It may not be one that is read over and over again.
Summary of A Remainder of One
When the queen of her bugs demands that her army march in even lines, Private Joe divides the marchers into more and more lines so that he will not be left out of the parade.General Books
