My Full Moon Is Square

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Randall Enos. Although the bullfrog at Peekaboo Pond can read, he can't see on a moonless night and it's up to the fireflies to provide illumination. They form a square, first of four flies, then nine, sixteen, twenty-five, and, finally, a hundred. The math lesson overpowers the story, but Enos's linocut illustrations clearly show the arithmetical formations and Pinczes's couplets encourage participation.
