This Math Fables sequel dishes out new animal facts in choppy verse while demonstrating again how numbers can be broken into smaller groupings. Eight vultures, for example, scavenge in groups of 4 and 4, 5 and 3, 6 and 2, etc., accompanied by, "Egyptian vultures know success / will come if you persist!" Crisp digital-looking illustrations reinforce the math.
