Onesie's Odd Job: A Cheesy Mouse Tale of Even and Odd (The Good Neighbors Math Series) - Softcover
Onesie feels sad and small until he learns about his odd job determining if the number of cubes that make up all of the cheese in his neighborhood is even or odd. Onesie's good neighbors, Tenor, and Hund-Red, demonstrate why it cannot be their job, and Onesie employs his newly acquired skills when the mice receive the Cheese Census in the mail. What will Onesie determine for the 999 cubes the mice possess? Through this engaging story, children not only learn the definition of even and odd numbers, but also learn why the ones place determines if a number is even or odd. The colorful illustrations provide children with base ten block visual models of even and odd numbers, as well as a deep conceptual understanding of what makes numbers even or odd.

Review:
Onesie's Odd Job is fantastic! Rather than learning a math rule to determine if a number is odd or even, this book explains and shows students why it is determined by the ones place. After sharing this book with my class, misunderstandings about odd vs. even numbers have virtually disappeared. As an added bonus, it also strengthened students' understanding of place value. It's a must read for every elementary classroom. M. Henderson, 4th Gr. Teacaher --Sweethome CSD, Amherst, NY
I think this book really made it fun and exciting for my students to learn about even and odd numbers. I have not found any other books out there that tackle this math area. Mr. Ramsay has made even and odd numbers and fiction reading come together in a very valuable and memorable way for my whole class. A. Kelly, Elementary Teacher --Sweethome CSD, Amherst, NY
My third grade class absolutely loves the book, Onesie s Odd Job. The clever word choice and vocabulary really help students understand the concept of even and odd numbers. They even learn a little Spanish along the way! The concrete examples and illustrations help all students comprehend the mathematical ideas while being entertained by the story. M. Zimmer, 3rd Grade Teacher --Willow Ridge Elementary, Buf, NY
