This title forms part of the Little Library programme, which consists of a Literacy Kit, Numeracy Kit and Life Skills Kit. These were developed to respond to a need for high-quality, indigenous books for the younger members of our communities, and have been successfully used in schools for the last ten years. This title is found in the updated, OBE version of the Little Library Maths Kit, now called the Little Library Numeracy Kit. The Numeracy Kit keeps seven of the best stories, and introduces five new ones - all of them trialled in classrooms around the country. Cheese! Yummy cheese! tells the story of mice who have found cheese in a dairy, and fight to see who will eat it. Division, rote counting, number/quantity correspondence and the use of counting to mark the passage of time are the main Mathematics links in this story.
