About the Author:

Bruce Goldstone is the author of several books, including Great Estimations, Greater Estimations and The Beastly Feast. He has worked in educational publishing for nearly twenty years. Growing up in Ohio, Bruce fell in love with reading and the magic of words, and even back then he knew he wanted to be a writer. Books have always been an important part of his life, from buying used paperbacks to his first job, shelving books as a library page. He now lives in New York City with a plethora of pets including one dog, three parakeets, and an aquarium.

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 3 Bright color photographs that pop from white backgrounds invite youngsters to celebrate the first 100 days of school by doing things: Recycle 100 cans Walk 100 steps in any direction. Make a snake with 100 beads and even mop. Highlighting the ideas shown on each spread is a number line in 100 hues, which are also backgrounds for saying hello in 100 languages. By measuring 100 inches or 100 grams, counting eyes on 50 owls or legs on 25 elephants, and predicting the most frequent number to appear when a die is rolled 100 times, youngsters explore a variety of math concepts. Whether reading 100 books, composing a poem with 100 letters, or writing a short story with 100 words, these ideas add literacy skills to the children's math awareness. Various collections are artfully arranged, as are designs incorporating 100 circles, 100 triangles, and 100 hearts. Finally, children can celebrate by hanging up 100 streamers, blowing up 100 balloons, and blowing out 100 candles. Activities requiring adult supervision are noted on the last page, as are additional ideas. A more clever collection of 100 ideas is hard to imagine. A must-have for schools celebrating this special day. Mary Jean Smith, Southside Elementary School, Lebanon, TN
