Consider Full House by Dayle Ann Dodds.
“Full House by Dayle Ann Dodds is a bright, sing-song picture book set in the Strawberry Inn where guests arrive until every room is full; the rhyming text and busy, whimsical art make it an easy read-aloud that nudges toward simple fraction ideas through counting and sharing.

Limitation: math remains implicit and adults looking for precise teaching language or practice prompts will find it thin.”
