Manuela Castro Neves - Tantos Animais e Outras Lengalengas de Contar

Manuela Castro Neves has been a teacher for many years.

Throughout this experience, she has created several nursery rhymes inspired by early mathematical concepts. In these little stories, marked by the rhythmic sound of repeated words and the existence of patterns, mathematics serves as a kind of theme for the author to have fun and entertain all readers.

You and I, dear friend,
live on the same street.

How many steps,
how many steps,
are there from my house to yours?

— If they are gigantic steps,
I think it's 2 or 3.

— If they are my father's steps,
maybe 203.
