Overview

About the Author

Twenty-six years ago Karen Fairweather Kemp was healed of alcoholism. That experience proved to her the reality of Christ. In "Patterns" she opens up her life to others, recognizing that alcoholism is a disease and its dark patterns destroy people's lives. Her story offers hope and help to those who want freedom from alcoholism.

Karen lives with her husband Bill, and their English Cocker Spaniel, "Amazing" Grace, in Lake Oswego, Oregon, where they moved in 1977. They have 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. Karen is in a new battle with a recurring rare form of sarcoma but is living her life each day in the fullest way that she can. She loves to paint, garden, and entertain with friends and family.

Simple text describes the basics of counting and explains how to count in groups.

Editorials

School Library Journal

Gr 1-3-In both of these titles, clear, full-color photos and simple texts help children understand mathematical concepts. The first book explains counting by fives and tens. Concrete examples are offered. For example, counting 30 buttons in 6 piles of 5 or 3 piles of 10 is clearly shown. The discussion of tens provides a good transition for explaining place value. Money explains coin values through photos and captions that give cent equivalents. The concept of counting change by starting with the coins that are worth the most is discussed; paper money is not. In both books, the cartoon character Math Mutt appears on every other page with helpful explanations, commentary, or questions. The last page of each title contains a list of key words (without definitions) and a simple index.-Karen Land, Greenport Public School, NY Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
