Who Eats First?

Another entry in my aggressive “GROWTH MINDSET MATH, KIDS” agenda of the moment.

Freaky, atmospheric, horror-esque watercolors accompany this thrilling tale of scarce resources. A bunch of charismatic megafauna - plus a caterpillar - debate who will eat a peach. The caterpillar is most cunning. We learn about measuring stuff. And relativism. I found it unsettling, but math-worthy. My kid LOVED the tortured drama (they are very concerned with fairness these days, given they have a sibling), and spent the next day measuring various stuffed animals. So, that's a win.
