Sort it Out!

by Barbara Mariconda, Sherry Rogers Narrated by Donna German

Overview

Packy the Packrat's mother has had enough! It's time that he sorts through his ever-growing collection of trinkets and puts them away. Told in rhyme, the text leads the reader to participate in the sorting process by categorizing Packy's piles of things according to like characteristics and attributes. The story promotes and reinforces analogous thinking-a critical thinking skill in math, science, and life. In the “For Creative Minds” education section at the back of the book, the reader can explore even more attributes and characteristics of objects, including color, size, texture, shape, and material.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Most collections would benefit from this simple entry into the world of mathematics. - School Library Journal

A great read-aloud story book ideal for stimulating young minds. - Midwest Book Review

Children who are studying patterns and sorting will find this book interesting, especially because the packrat has so many different ways to sort objects in addition to using color, size, and shape. Some ways are not necessarily obvious. - Teaching Children Mathematics
