"An entertaining introduction to the concept of weight"
Elephant and Mouse are playing on the seesaw but Elephant is too heavy. Mouse’s friends climb up, Rabbit, Frog and Squirrel, but they’re still too light. It’s only when Monkey climbs up too that the weights balance and Elephant rises into the air. The arrival of Daddy Elephant on the final spread provides the last and biggest laugh.
With lots of lively humour, the story smoothly delivers a lesson in the concept of weight while young readers will be picking up vocabulary that is key in the Early Years Foundation Stage for maths. There are also useful tips for parents/adults to help them get the most out of the book when sharing it with children, and there are fun activities at the back too to be tried at home and outside. Well thought out, this is an enjoyable way to support early mathematical learning.
Elephant is too heavy to play with Mouse on the seesaw. Their friends can help, but will it be enough to get Elephant's feet off the ground? A great deal (of Elephant) hangs in the balance in this hilarious introduction to the maths concept of weight.
