About the Author:
David A. Adler taught math for eight years. In that time he learned many things from his students -- including the fact that they thought fractions were hard. So he decided to prove that learning how to work with fractions is not only easy, but also fun! He lives with his family on Long Island. You can learn more about him at www. davidaadler.com.
Edward Miller loves to make concepts clear to kids and has demonstrated that in his previous nonfiction books. School Library Journal praised his Alphabeep: A Zipping, Zooming ABC by Debora Pearson as "stunningly illustrated." He lives in New York City. You can visit his website at www.edmiller.com.

Gr 3–5—Adler and Miller (Circles; Place Value) team up again to introduce the concepts of estimating and rounding to young readers using relatable, practical examples and appealing illustrations. Estimations as "approximate answers" are first defined as acceptable responses to questions whose exact answer is continually changing, such as the population of the United States. Rounding is then presented as a tool that can make estimations, such as the cost of groceries or the product of two double-digit numbers, easier. The artwork reinforces the conceptual examples found in the text and features three unnamed children and five anthropomorphic dinosaurs drawn in a pleasing cartoon style. Important terms are shown in bold but are defined only within the text; there is no glossary or other back matter. Although the concepts are conveyed clearly, the subject matter, density of the text, and smaller font size make this selection much more likely to be helpful to students when shared with a caregiver or educator in a one-on-one or small group setting than when read independently. VERDICT Highly recommended for classroom and school libraries and for public libraries where Adler and Miller's previous titles are in use.—Kacy Helwick, New Orleans Public Library
