Marco’s mom reminds him that it is time for bed but all of his stuffed animals are strewn across the floor of his bedroom. Marco decides to sort his stuffed animals like a scientist. First he puts his animals into three groups, flying animals, swimming animals, and animals that move on land. Marco wrote labels on paper and taped them to his baskets. The animals would not stay in their baskets! Marco tried sorting the animals by color and by size but neither worked. Eventually Marco ended up with all of the stuffed animals in his bed as he slept. The illustrations are large and bright. The stuffed animals look very comfy to snuggle and young readers are sure to want to grab their own! This book is part of the storytelling math series. A wonderful way to introduce two languages and the math concept of sorting to young children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"medium-cover\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"The Animals Would Not Sleep!

The Animals Would Not Sleep!


By: Sara Levine / Illustrated by: Marta Álvarez Miguéns

What would a scientist do?

It’s bedtime, and Marco’s toys are causing a ruckus and won’t settle down. But as a scientist, Marco can’t just put his toys away, he needs to sort them. He tries many ways: swimming animals, land animals, flying animals; black and white animals, brown animals, colorful animals; big animals, small animals. Nothing seems to work to help the animals sleep. Marco observes, compares, and groups, but the animals refuse every classification. Finally he combines math with empathy to get the most important result: maximum snuggles.

Marta Álvarez Miguéns’s delightful illustrations will have young readers giggling and imagining their own stuffies being mischievous and needing sorting.

Backmatter includes more information about the science of sorting and an Exploring the Math section with activities that kids and their caregivers will enjoy together.

Storytelling Math books offer a wide range of math topics, feature main characters of color, appeal to a broad audience, and are written by a diverse array of authors.
