Five wacky ducks, a.k.a. the Wing Wing brothers, compete at a strength test, battle it out in a hot-dog-eating contest, and ride (and break) a Ferris wheel--all while illustrating math concepts: counting, adding, and subtracting by tens. Although the alliteration of W words verges on overkill, there's plenty of humor in the silly yet clear text and comic book–style pictures.
