The Feet in the Gym

A picture book read aloud (for ages 4 to 8)

Text by Teri Daniels ~ Illustrations by Travis Foster.

See why Handy Bob the custodian has a big mess to mop in the school gym!

This NCTE recommended read aloud is a popular back-to-school title.

“Handy Bob is the lovable school custodian who is at his wit’s end as bustling students trek dirt, grime and slime across his freshly mopped gym floor. But help is afoot!

Young readers ages 4 to 8 will find out how the children clear the mess with an unusual solution! Teri Daniels’ lively and original story is splendidly illustrated by the equally lively artwork of Travis Foster.” [The Children’s Bookwatch]

Math Man

A picture book read aloud (for ages 5 to 9)

Text by Teri Daniels ~ Illustrations by Timothy Bush

It’s nearly Halloween, and Marnie visits the Mighty Mart on a class trip. Her teacher, Mrs. Gourd, wants everyone to see math in action. Not Marnie, she just wants a pumpkin–big and bumpy. The superstore is hopping with math problems, but one threatens to shut the registers down!

Will Marnie get a pumpkin? Will Mrs. Gourd see enough math?

Will Math Man save the day? Watch this zany read aloud to find out!

A Children’s Choice selection of the Children’s Book Council/International Reading Association (CBC/IRA).

“Like many other math picture books, this introduces curricular concepts, but unlike most others, it shoots them off in rapid-fire succession as it gallops along at breakneck speed. Bush’s dynamic, line-and-watercolor illustrations add humorous touches while reflecting the good-humored verve of the text.” [Booklist]
