In this podcast, Kelsey Rdzanek introduces listeners to the book Counting on Frank<\/a>, written and illustrated by Rod Clement.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Introduction
\n<\/strong>I selected Counting on Frank<\/em> because it was very creative and included amazing facts that I thought kids would be interested in. For example, how many blue whales would fit into a house and how long a line a pen could draw until it ran out of ink. This book can be used for teaching about measurement and ratios, as well as topics like addition or subtraction.<\/p>\n
