My Even Day

In this delightful, rhythmic sequel to One Odd Day, the young boy awakens to find that it is another strange day--now everything is even, and his mother has two heads! This time, a school field trip to the zoo is dealt with in an odd, but even-handed manner. And, like its predecessor, children will spend hours looking for all the hidden objects in the incredible art. Square it all off with more "number fun" in the "For Creative Minds" section. This fictional story with rhyming text includes a 3-page For Creative Minds section in the back of the book and a 57-page cross-curricular Teaching Activity Guide online. My Even Day is vetted by experts and designed to encourage parental engagement. Its extensive back matter helps teachers with time-saving lesson ideas, provides extensions for science, math, and social studies units, and uses inquiry-based learning to help build critical thinking skills in young readers. The Spanish translation supports ELL and dual-language programs. The interactive ebook reads aloud in both English and Spanish with word highlighting and audio speed control to promote oral language skills, fluency, pronunciation, text engagement, and reading comprehension.

“My Even Day will not only have readers in hysterics, but it will teach the important concept of even numbers. Fun activities are found at the back of the book. - Wee One's Magazine”

"My Even Day begins where One Odd Day ended. The story is similar to the first except that this day revolves around examples of even numbered and then concludes with the boy waking up to find that half his head has been shaved, leading the reader to believe that the next book will focus on fractions. - Teaching Children Mathematics
