Visual learners I love them! I married one, but I am not one. I am pretty sure the girls are visual learners. Spider Droid is very good auditory and a good kinesthetic learner.
The kids took turns reading the book, placing the chocolate and even taking the pictures I am sharing here.
I like these pages because it gives a strong reinforcement that 12 twelfths is the same as one whole.
We really weren't able to stack the pieces exactly like in the book. But the kids got the idea.
Note: To put chocolate on each page as we did, you will need at least 3 candy bars.
The idea of addition and subtraction of fractions is very tangible with manipulatives. And Hershey's makes for a very tasty manipulative.
The Hershey's Milk Chocolate Fraction Book is a great tool for the auditory, visual and kinesthetic crowd. 
Especially if you provide your own chocolate.
