Synopsis
The one-hundredth day of school at Frank N. Stein Elementary School is the best day of the year for all the monsters except Jane Brain. Readers will learn fun-and sometimes spooky-ways of counting to one hundred.
Marilyn Courtot - Children's Literature
Given the number of books relating to the 100th day of school, this has apparently become a big deal. In this book, which might also work in a Halloween theme, our young protagonist, Annie, seems to be the only normal kid at the Frank N. Stein Elementary School. The teacher, Ms. Vampria, has asked all the kids to bring in their collection of 100 items to celebrate the day. Victor Fangly has a fang collection, Wally Wolfson has 100 howls, Bobby Batty has his bat collection, and Wendy Witchman has a cat collection. What will Annie do? Her friends actually come to the rescue and she has a swift solution to her problem. The real focus here is math combinations that make up 100. It is not heavy-duty on the math side and parents and teachers may find it useful to extend a lesson about what constitutes a hundred of anything. The book is part of the "All Aboard Math Readers" series, Station Stop 2 (reading with help). 2002, Grosset and Dunlap,
