Ten Tiny Monsters
Sheila White Samton
Hardcover
(Knopf Books for Young Readers, Sept. 23, 1997)
In order to make the monster team, ten tiny monsters must scare someone smaller than they are. But their intended victims scare them more! Slowly but surely, from ten down to none, the monsters drop out of the group. The Master Monster keeps track of just how many monsters are left by showing each subtraction--on his chalkboard--until only he remains. But being all alone, he realizes, is not nearly as much fun as being part of a group--even if they aren't very scary. Combining counting and simple subtraction with an entertaining storyline and boldly bright and cheerful collage, Ten Tiny Monsters is ideal for teachers and parents looking for a fun way to teach numbers.
