Description
Betsy Franco is back with a performance that explores a range of math topics--from fractions and time measurements to geometry and graphs--in a way that relates math to the daily lives of children. Illustrated by Priscilla Tey, whose clever mechanical "Numbots" guide readers through a surreal playground of calculated delights from multiplying mice to missing socks, from stinky scales to bug races.
