Right-hand pages relate how San Diego Zoo trainers paired two cheetah cubs with dogs to help the cubs feel at ease around zoo visitors. Simultaneously, left-hand pages teach division strategies (equal groups, repeated subtraction) in contexts related, but not integral, to the cheetahs' story. The book's dual-purpose format is a little awkward, but the photogenic felines and their canine pals will keep readers interested.
