Illustrated by
Steve Bjorkman.
At the new amusement park, Grandpa gives his grandkids twenty tickets each. With a little help, the kids add up the cost in tickets for rides and figure out the "unknowns," the number of tickets left over for snacks and games. Cartoony watercolors keep up the carnival atmosphere, while a plot about Paul's lost tickets and the Terrible Tarantula ride adds a hint of suspense. Related activities are appended.
