Bobo is a small, weak child in a world full of big bullies, but not to worry: he too has his surprises... Activities focus on parts of the body (human and monster), basicdescribing adjectives, colours, numbers and the alphabet. A special feature is that children can use the cut-out page on the book, to make their own Jack in the box.

The youngster here is an African American only child; the adults are active, serious professionals--father is an architect, mother an accountant. In its own way, Jamal's day is as demanding as theirs: he "works with numbers" in math class, does "research" in the library, has "meetings to attend" in the school auditorium and occasionally settles schoolyard "disagreements between my co-workers.
This book focuses on helping children learn how to add the numbers 1 and 2 to other numbers. This very basic mathematical skill cannot be acquired through repetition alone. By using this book, children will be able to understand, without difficulty, the concept of addition by first repeatedly tracing and reciting numbers and then gradually shifting to addition formulas that include the numbers 1 and 2.
