Family Fun Day

Carole Fullerton and Sharon JeroskiIllustrated by Félix Girard

Hey, welcome to my favourite park! I love to come

here with my family, and today is a special day. It's been

100 years since Pacific View Park opened. I bet you'll see

lots of things to count—and lots of ways to count them!

There are many special things to do

and see—and eat!

One of my favourite foods to eat at the park has sauce,

spices, and lots of cheese. Can you guess what it is?

2 3

It's pizza! Some people are having a delicious snack.

I can count the pieces by 10s. It looks as though there

is enough for everyone.

How much pizza do you think each person can have?

It's a sunny day, but I can hear a crashing noise. It's not

thunder, so what can it be?

4 5

It's outdoor bowling! This looks fun. I think I could

knock all of the pins down if I really tried!

Who do you think is winning here?

Not far away I see people with boats, but they're not

near any water. I wonder what the boats are for.

6 7

Oh—the boats are for sushi. That's a Japanese dish

made with raw fish, vegetables, and sometimes fruit. My

favourite is the salmon and mango roll. I love the colours.

But I'm still learning to use chopsticks. They can be tricky!

How can you count the sushi on these trays? How else?

Something fun is happening near the beach.

Can you guess what it is from this riddle?

I love to dance

and twist and prance.

But I shake when I

get up in the sky.

8 9

People are flying kites!

The part that hangs from a kite is called

the tail. A kite's tail helps the kite to balance and to face

into the wind. It's really windy, so I see a lot of kites in the

park today!

What things can you count in this picture?

I smell something delicious over by that food cart. It

smells like meat and vegetables and... I can't wait—I've got

to find out what it is!

1110

Wow, it's dim sum! I love how the food is arranged on

the platters. It reminds me of dominoes.

I hear the ocean nearby, and see lots of people digging in

the sand. Do you think they've lost something?

12 13

No, they're building sandcastles! My friends and I love to

make sandcastles at the beach. We work together to build

them, and decorate them with shells we find. Then, when

the tide comes in, we watch the castles disappear.

How many shells can you count in each tower?

Walking on the beach has sure made me hungry.

I wonder if there are treats anywhere close by...

14 15

Yum—desserts! Last summer my auntie and I made

frozen pops like these. We mixed fruit and yogurt in the

blender. Then we poured the mix into an ice-cube tray and

froze it. We made 8 pops, and that was lots for my auntie,

my sister, and me.

How do you think 3 people could share 8 frozen pops?

I hear the sounds of stones dropping and feet skipping.

I wonder what else is happening in the park today...

16 17

They're playing the "Get to 100!" hopscotch game.

We play that at school. You have to hop from one number

to another. The sum of the two numbers has to be 100.

Sarah's standing on 75. What number should she jump

onto to get to 100?

It's such a hot day and I'm so thirsty. What I need is

something nice and cold...

1918

Ah, there's David's Drinks! I love those cold drinks.

Each one is fresh and delicious!

I have 5 dollars left—hmmm, what can I get?

I've seen people going by with paint on their hands.

Some have red paint and some have blue. What's that

all about?

20 21

It was Mr. Kim's idea to make this

cool banner. We can paint our hand and

then make a handprint on the banner. There will be

one handprint for each of the park's 100 years.

How many of each colour do you think there could be?

It will be dark before long. I'm going to meet up with my

cousins now. What will end this special day?

22 23

Wow! 100 candles is a lot! I hope there's room for

them all!

This has been an amazing day. I can't wait for next year's

party: 100 + 1 = 101!
