Behind The Pages With Bob:

"When Random House asked me to illustrate this book I knew that one thing would be a given: on at least one spread I would have to show the Centipede wearing precisely 100 shoes. That's really an assignment for an illustrator with a serious foot fetish, but being young, enegetic and always up for a challenge, I took on the job -- and it was indeed a 'kick.""

-- Bob Staake

 

In one illustration we see the Centipede reading "The Shoe York Times."

Summary:

Centipede has one hundred feet. One hundred feet means one hundred shoes. How in the world does Centipede choose shoes? This Math Reader clearly demonstrates the concepts of pairs and multiple sets, all in simple, rollicking, rhythmic text and with bright, graphic illustrations.
