The Doorbell Rang a picture book

The Doorbell Rang written and illustrated by Pat Hutchins.

This book was published by: HarperTrophy October 26, 1989.

This book is appropriate for children K-2.

When Ma gave Sam and Victoria a dozen cookies to share, they were delighted. Then the doorbell rang, and rang, and rang. As more children arrived, from various ethnic backgrounds, sharing required other division problems so everyone would have equal amounts. The final ring of the doorbell, however, brings good news.

This is a good book to teach division concepts.

After reading this book I used it in my classroom to teach about division. Children love eating cookies.
