No tricking this one

Merl's Mum gave us a set of early-numeracy books, and I've decided to begin working our way through them - one a week. Each book has little helpful notes in the back cover of games to play to engage interest in the concept being introduced.

Yesterday was "Zero Spots", and, following the spirit of one of the suggestions, I asked Miss4 whether she would prefer zero chocolate bars, or zero piles of poo...

She gave me a level look and then a grin and said "I'd prefer 30 chocolate bars!"
