Baby Goes to Market (Hardback Book)

Baby goes to Market by Atinuke is a great book. A baby and mother go to the market place and encounter entrepreneurs who sell different goods. Each entrepreneur gives baby a portion of food. At the end of the story, the mother finds all of these food items that she hadn’t purchased in her basket. When she offers to return the items to the entrepreneurs, they all tell her it was a gift for the baby. This heartwarming story exposes young dreamers to a African marketplace, authentic Nigerian food, and the value community places on children.

For math educators, this is a great book to use in class because it allows your young dreamers to count while reading. In addition, math educators can create their own math problems using the book. Social studies educators can use this book as a tool to teach children about marketplaces and entrepreneurship.

For parents, this book is a tool to expose your young dreamer to African life and culture. In addition, this book serves as a tool to teach children that they can use math everyday.

This is a great book to add to the math or social studies section of your home or school library.
