      I really enjoyed this book especially because I can relate it to my home life. I remember when my son was beginning to learn addition and this book would have been a fun resource for he and I to explore together. Not only does it allow the student to read, but helps them grasp the concept of adding without them realizing it. It uses different terms for that a student may see when learning addition such as plus, all together, total, and increase. The visuals/illustrations are helpful for a learner that needs an aid when trying to understand and comprehend a concept. Showing how to solve problems is a key addition in this story because it allows a student to visualize the outcome of the problem and what it should look like. Another great aspect is it allows a teacher to expand on the aids they use in class. Buttons, paper clips, crayons, rocks, and just about any other small manipulative a student can use with their hands on a desk are great tools for visual aid learners.

      The story, "The Mission of Addition" is a math information book about addition. The book has many different scenarios were addition is the answer. The way the story is set up it teaches students factual information about math in a fun way. One example of the book is, "Adding is growing the total of things, like bubbles in bathtubs or bright shiny rings." Another great thing about the book is that is show symbols such as a plus sign or equals sign. I recomend this book to anyone!
