Book Synopsis



"Kids, young and old, fall in love with math when they see how real-life and effortless it becomes thanks to these books." --Kimberly D. Mueller, Ed.D., First Grade Teacher, Ashbrook School, Lumberton NJ

He hasn't guessed wrong yet, but if he does, he gets dunked. Can Eddie keep guessing right--and keep from getting wet?
