Science/Math Book Recommendation

Sue Kirch, Ph.D., a science educator K-12 in the Department of Teaching and Learning, New York University, emailed two recommendations of "fabulous" books for teachers who want to integrate math & science--Measuring Penny and It's Probably Penny (Penny is a dog) by Loreen Leedy. Sue, who is a dear friend and former colleague at Queens College, particularly likes the way Leedy "unfolds the math concept . . . . simple, elegant, clear, easy to understand." The narration, she said, is "cute."
