Quest for the Momma Violin - Hardcover (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

by Kelley M. Likes (Author), Mary Barrows (Illustrator)

A truly one-of-a-kind BAM (Business, Arts, and Mathematics) book!

When Theo sees a cello in the store window, he knows this MUST be his Momma Violin-only she's so EXPENSIVE!

Theo's entrepreneurial spirit kicks in as he works hard to earn money, but things don't always go his way. Theo tries dog walking, snow shoveling - when it snows, busking, and a gourmet hot chocolate stand, just to name a few.

"Look, Mom! Isn't she beautiful? Can I get her?"

"Yes, Theo, she is beautiful and no, she's too expensive."

"What if I earned money to buy her?" Theo asked.

"If you earn the money, you can get her," Mom replied.

Targeted for children ages 6-10, teacher/writer Kelley M Likes and illustrator Mary Barrows created a book about a child determined to cross off everything on his checklist and earn his Momma Violin.

Great for classroom usage―follows Mathematics Common Core Curriculum Standards.

Includes:

An original cello and violin composition entitled "Ode to Momma Violin."
