Critical Reviews

" Apples Not Orples is a clever picture book for preschoolers and
beyond with fun animal characters to interact with in the story. The layout is
engaging and not only will children love reading this book but so will parents
and teachers. It is such a useful classroom tool for teachers. It's great when
reading and learning maths can combine. I can even see high school teachers
using this book."
- Buzz Words Magazine

"It is algebra for the very young (and maybe not so young) and cleverly
explains in a visual way why you can't mix and match.

This book would be a useful resource in a school or home as its cheerful
approach and thoughtful presentation takes the worry out of algebra."

"Wordplay adds a droll element to this very
basic introduction to a fundamental algebraic concept. ... Younger audiences will
enjoy the shouting and silly talk, even if only proto-mathletes actually grasp
the lesson"
- Kirkus Reviews

"Wow - this
book! What an incredibly fun way to cover maths, algebra and addition for young
readers. I really loved how these concepts were approached and conveyed in an
easy to understand way- throw in some laughs and interactions and collaboration
with the reader, and they won't even know they are learning! This is a must
have for every classroom and school library!" - Kat_Bookworm (Instagram)
