Fractions = Trouble!

116 pp. | Farrar | June, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-36716-9 $15.99
(2) 1-3 Illustrated by G. Brian Karas. Fractions are giving third grader Wilson (7 x 9 = Trouble!) fits. His parents have hired a tutor, and he'll be humiliated if his friends find out. Mills seamlessly incorporates math explanations into her readable narrative. Subplots involving Wilson's science project and the disappearance of little brother Kipper's beanbag animal add humor and pathos, respectively--all captured in Karas's warm pencil sketches.
