Review quotes

Cleary starts with pizza slices as an example of fractions in action. He also talks about cooking ('Fractions come in handy / if you ever help with baking. / You'll see them in the recipes / for breads and cakes you're making') then touches on terminology (numerator, denominator). Information is limited, but it's an entertaining starting point. —The Horn Book Guide
