Children's Literature 

The books listed here can be found in the Drexel Library CMC (Curriculum Materials Center) at the call number indicated.

Clicking on the title will link to the SJU Library Catalog where you will find more details about the book as well as its availability status.

Children's books which explicitly teach math concepts are usually classified as Math books, in QA. However, many other titles address a math concept in the context of a story, and hence are classified as Fiction, in PZ.

The list here will help you find books on a specific concept, wherever they may be shelved in the CMC.
