Candy Counting by Lisa McCourt illustrated by Brad Tuckman*

Each two page spread has story problem that centers on candy.  The mathematician must decide if he/she should add or subtract.  Sometimes the problem is a two step problem where the solver must add and then subtract.  The story problems are humorous and kid appealing.
The photographs of the candy provide help to the mathematician if needed.
In the back are photographs and equations how each problem should have solved the correct answers.
Very creative!
*Highly recommend.
