When they each choose their favorite Brazilian snack from their Papai\u2019s store, Luis is quick to brag that he has more.  His bag is bigger.<\/p>\n<p>But what if you count what they have?  What if you count something different?<\/p>\n<p>When Lia finally comes up with the idea to measure the treats, she can make a strong case that she has more \u2013 and a way to make them equal.<\/p>\n<p>This puts the simple idea of measurement and quantity into a situation that small children will find compelling.  Because you always want to have more than your brother. It\u2019s an important early math concept, and it\u2019s a good story.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anacrespobooks.com\/\">anacrespobooks.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/giovanamedeiros.com\/\">giovanamedeiros.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/charlesbridge.com\/\">charlesbridge.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1623541859\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find this review on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\">Sonderbooks<\/a> at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/lia_and_luis.html\">www.sonderbooks.com\/Picture_Books\/lia_and_luis.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:  I am a professional librarian, but the views expressed are solely my own, and in no way represent the official views of my employer or of any committee or group of which I am part.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-via=\"Sonderbooks\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What did you think of this book?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lia &#038; Lu\u00eds Who Has More? by Ana Crespo illustrated by Giovana Medeiros Charlesbridge, 2020. 32 pages.
