80 people start the Great Divide race, halving many times along the way as they must choose between diverging mountain paths, different boats, air balloons, aeroplanes and stampeding horses.
As the field is progressively whittled down to a winner, the impetus of the verse itself propels the reader on towards the finish line:
40 racers now have to float!What's up ahead? A loud, roaring sound! Whooshing whirlpools spin all around.
Half are swept up in a dizzying whirl. Half battle on through foam and swirl.
Tracy Mitchell does a fantastic job illustrating the race; her colourful cartoon-like pictures reminiscent of Whacky Races (something most readers won't be able to recall!)
Superb on entertainment value alone, The Great Divide will introduce young readers to the principles of fractions, giving them concrete examples and reinforcing by repetition. A lovely book to read aloud to a group or for youngsters to read to themselves. (Ages 6 to 9) --Lucie Naylor
