Uh-oh! A snacktime rivalry arises. Who got more snack to snack on? We’ll need a bit of math and some creative thinking to find out how the siblings’ snacks measure up!

Discuss the Book
Snack Attack. Pages 1–9
- Important Moment: A brother and sister pick snacks at the family store. Luís chooses a bag of biscuits and Lia orders two croquettes.
- Ask and Share: How many croquettes is Lia ordering at the counter? How can you tell? Can you show two fingers like Lia does? How else do you use your fingers to show and count numbers?
It’s in the Bag. Pages 10–15
- Important Moment: Luís says his biscuit bag is bigger than Lia’s croquette bag. But Luís only has one bag of cookies, whereas Lia has two croquettes.
- Ask and Share: Hmm, who do you think has more snacks, Luís or Lia? Why?
Count ‘Em Up. Pages 16–19
- Important Moment: Luís lays out his biscuits. He’s got 100. That’s way more than Lia’s two croquettes. Luís wins.
- Ask and Share: How do you think Lia is feeling? How do you feel when you don’t win, or things don’t go your way? What are some things you can do when you’re feeling that way?
Weighing In. Pages 20–29
- Important Moment: Luís and Lia weigh the snacks. Lia’s snacks weigh more than Luís’s even though Luís’s snacks are bigger.
- Ask and Share: Whose snacks are heavier? Whose snacks are bigger? Can you think of things around our home where one item is larger and lighter and the other is smaller and heavier, like a ball cap and an apple? Let’s find some together!
