Résumé

Join two friendly and funny robots, Beep and Boots, as they learn all about measuring and discover that maths is everywhere they look.

Beep and Boots have an exciting, fun-packed day planned at the amusement park. The pals cannot wait to enjoy all the rides together. But when they check their heights, Boots is not tall enough to go on a lot of the rides. And going to an amusement park is no fun if you can't share it with friends. Will Beep be able to come up with a solution so the pair can go on the really high Star Drop ride? Wheeeeee!

This fun and educational maths book for children features:

• Lively illustrations and rhyming text bring the characters and maths topics to life.
• The series covers shapes, time, measurements, division, and fractions - all essential learning for this age group.
• Illustrations are in a non-gendered colour palette, making the traditionally male subject relatable for all genders.
• The storyline is relatable to young readers, encouraging them to look for maths in their homes and environments, and seeing how, often without even knowing it, they are using maths in their day to day lives.

The characterful illustrations and rhyming text in the pages of this book bring Beep and Boots to life! Children aged 5-7 will love seeing the adventures the robot duo go on and will learn key mathematical concepts about measuring in a gentle, fun way. A series of questions at the end of the book reinforce learning and encourage kids to look at the maths they can see in the world around them.

At DK, we believe in the power of discovery.
