The wacky fun continues as a young boy awakens to find a half-head of hair. After chugging down his glass of milk that's two-thirds gooey paste, he and his friend are off to camp for a day of fraction fun and an out-of-this world soccer game. The first two books in the series, One Odd Day and My Even Day, won a Learning Magazine's 2008 Teachers' Choice Award for Children's Books.

As with the series' other books, the imaginative illustrations are sure to please young readers as they scour the pages for countless oddities hidden in the art! Miss Dodd is the ref for our soccer today! "Each goal counts FIVE- EIGHTHS," she said. "Ready to play?" For Creative Minds: Fractions around us Measuring and fractions in recipes A special pizza party o pizza recipe o the science of pizza dough o pizza slices - which is bigger? Thanks to Mary Santilli, Presidential Award Recipient for Elementary Mathematics (CT 1991); for verifying the accuracy of the information in this book.

Dani Sneed (One Odd Day and My Even Day) is a mother of three, full-time engineer, part-time writer and former substitute teacher. While teaching, Dani enjoyed explaining math in silly, but memorable, ways. Oddly enough, she was inspired to co-author One Odd Day based on a conversation she had with an elementary school librarian. My Even Day is a natural follow on to that quite odd book and there may even be a fraction of a book in the future! Dani has written five merit badge books for Boy Scouts of America including Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Geology, and is working on more.

She has two co-authored bilingual books; Confetti Eggs / Cascarones and Punched Paper / Papel Picado. Dani lives in the suburbs of Houston with her family which includes a dog, Muffin and a cat, Cupcake. They are currently looking for a pet to name Biscuit.
Industry Reviews
It is easy to tell that humor is on the way when the book's main character wakes up to discover his head of hair is half long and half buzzed! Simple rhyming stanzas add to the fun as the young boy learns fractions in unique ways. - Children's Comprehensive Database However, the illustrations are engaging - showing examples of parts of a whole (i.e., clocks, phases of the moon, musical notes, money, etc.) - and the story is clever. - Teaching Children Mathematics Learning fractions can be lots more fun for children if there's a fun, imaginative book to help. -My Half Day,- written by Doris Fisher and Dani Sneed, is such a book. - Craig Daily Press
