Math
In this rhyming story, children go on a class trip to Greenville Petting Zoo with their teacher. Also, the reader sees how one dozen children can be grouped in different ways. It includes math activities about a dozen at the end of the book: hunting for one dozen, two by two, out the doors in fours, on the bus in threes, show the other ways, what about six?

Demonstrates that no matter how you arrange something, the amount stays same ( )

Summary:
One day the students in a classroom setting planned on taking a trip to the zoo. As they were getting ready to leave, the teacher had twelve of them all line up at the door in two rows of six. But they had a hard time staying together so the teacher suggested that throughout the trip she uses different formations on the bus and at the zoo. The teacher has them skipping single file, dividing them into groups of two or three, and two rows of six or one of twelve. Then the students are tired so the teacher had all twelve of them take a nap together.

Personal Reaction:
The book gives the opportunity for students to enhance with their math skills in counting and the different ways to add up the number twelve. Also I like how there are some patterns of rhyming words to make the story more interesting and it adapts with their grammar.

Classroom Extension:
1.The teacher can do an activity where the teacher says a certain pair of numbers to form a line and they each have to figure out how to do it with one another.
2.Then the teacher could discuss with the students about where, when, and why lines are helpful and important to our lives.
