Puppy and Kitten Math series. Basic math concepts are introduced via photographs of kittens and puppies, and some kids will be drawn in by the cutesy premise. However, it's not well executed: number lines are lost in the gutters in Adding; Counting and Subtracting muddle how to "count back"; Measuring's rulers and yardsticks are too small to read easily; and the loose rhymes in Telling Time are inane.
