I love this sweet book about subtraction. The colors and animals in this book are so inviting and make simple subtraction fun for kids.

Monster Musical Chairs by Stuart J. Murphy

We play musical chairs all the time! It’s great to read a book the kids are already familiar with the topic and help them focus on the math concepts reviewed in the book.

Animals help little learners with simple addition problems in this fun book. This is the perfect book for beginners. The problems are simple and there are a lot of picture clues.

Dominos are a great math manipulative in the classroom. I have this book in my set of classroom library books and love it! It’s a great one for kids to read while they are in your math centers too!

What’s New at the Zoo by Suzanne Slade

I like to add this book to our zoo field trip preparations. Animals at the zoo help little readers with their addition adventure!

Add If You Were a Minus Sign to the If You Were A Plus Sign book above as a great way to review two important concepts for little learners.

Splash by Ann Jonas

Splash is one of my favorite math books! Animals jump in and crawl out as readers work through each addition or subtraction problem to find out how many animals are in the pond.

Focus on the number 11 with this simple reading book. Each addition problem comes out with a sum of 11! Students love this book!

I like adding this book to our spring reading list. Use your student’s love for bird to help with practice their subtraction skills.

Use this set of fun books along with the Zoo First to 20 and First to 50 Math Games!Zoo First to 20 and First to 50 Math Game is a great way for students to practice one to one correspondence, counting, and addition. This free printable is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.
