Not sure if this is the right fit?

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. Its useful part is creating a playful, memorable frame for introducing halves and quarters without heavy exposition. Limitation: math remains implicit and adults looking for precise teaching language or practice prompts will find it thin.
