Synopsis "Crash! Boom! A Math Tale "

How do these blocks stack up? Gentle math concepts go down easy in this fun and accessible story for very young children by the esteemed Robie H. Harris. Elephant has a bucket of blocks and wants to build something tall. Something as tall as Elephant. But will it stay up? CRASH! BOOM! Not this time. Build it again? One block. Two blocks? Four blocks? It's still not as tall as Elephant. More blocks! Now will it stay up? Now will it be as tall as Elephant? Build, balance, count -- question, estimate, measure -- predict, crash, and build again! Young children will happily follow along as Elephant goes through the ups and downs of creating something new and finally celebrates the joy and pride of success.

Robie H. Harris was born in the United States. She is the author of various books, a writer and speaker on children's issues. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts with her husband and has two adult children. Her professional training, coupled with her experience as a mother and her keen interest in children and their development, have made her realize how difficult yet necessary it is to provide them with accurate information.
She is an author, specializing in children's books. She is particularly known for being the author of several children's books on childbirth and human sexuality, including "It's Perfectly Normal," "It's So Amazing," and "It's NOT the Stork!" Michael Emberley illustrates these three books. The books have received awards and praise, but have also been the subject of challenges and attempts to ban and censor them.
