in stead of the one you are speaking of...I liked this one better becasue no matter the story, no matter the problem the same picture applies to the same number EVERY TIME....so every time a two shows up in a problem it is always a shoe...3, is tree, etc. In the other one, it is not that way.
Just for information...I bought this book from Amazon and it was just the "teacher's guide"....you can buy a kid book...but I didn't find it on Amazon, and frankly, it is ok...there are pages in the back of the TG that you can copy for the student and I think it is fine.
hope this helps.
