If you are looking for a great Christmas-themed book for the young (or young at heart), you will want to check out A Porcupine in a Pine Tree: A Canadian 12 Days of Christmas (written by Helaine Becker, illustrated by Werner Zimmerman). Of course, the math connection is in the counting and in the adding up of all the items being given during the 12 days – all totaled it adds up to quite a tidy sum.
Certainly, any book with numbers tends to make me smile, but this one more than most. It is seriously delightful! It offers Mounties frolicking, squirrels curling, moose calling, hockey players a-leaping, and more.
The hardcover version is available from Amazon.ca (not Amazon.com) for the bargain price of $12.26 (price valid as of date of posting). Actually, for just a bit more, you can get the gift set version with the hardcover book plus an adorable little plush porcupine (sounds like an oxymoron doesn’t it!)
I am not affiliated with the author or publisher – I was given a copy of this book last year for Chrismas and I love it! I know you will, too.
May your days be merry and bright!
Mathematically yours,
