About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking how numbers apply to real life or when they are struggling to grasp the concept of percentages in a dry classroom setting. By placing mathematical concepts within a high stakes camp election, it transforms abstract symbols into a meaningful tool for understanding popularity and outcomes. This story is perfect for children who love logic and structure but need a narrative hook to keep them engaged. The book follows the campers at Camp Grizzly as they vote for a mascot, using the Grizzly Gazette newspaper to track the results. Through clear visuals and a relatable school life setting, it explores themes of fairness, civic participation, and the pride that comes from mastering a new skill. It is an ideal choice for 7 to 10 year olds who are ready to move beyond basic addition into the more complex world of ratios and parts of a whole.
