If Wilson Williams thought multiplication was difficult, he is
finding fractions impossible. And when his parents hire a math
tutor for him, he is sure he's the only kid in the history of Hill
Elementary to have one. Wilson is determined to make sure that no
one finds out, not even his best friend, Josh. At least his pet
hamster, Pip, is sympathetic. Pip is going to be part of Wilson's
science fair project, because any project with hamsters in it is
bound to be wonderful. But Josh has the coolest project of all: at
what temperature does a pickle explode? Unfortunately, it looks as
if Wilson's secret may end up exploding their friendship.
Claudia Mills' "Fractions = Trouble" is a fun and thoroughly

for early chapter-book readers."
When the elevator goes down, the subtraction starts and so does the magic. Ben sees crazy things everytime the door opens. Ride along as he subtracts his way down to the lobby, and decide for yourself if it’s elevator magic.

Yeti reveals a trick that makes all the difference. Some days it
seems like everybody is bigger, stronger, and faster than you, and
that has one little boy feeling blue. Fortunately, a surprising
someone steps in to help--a big, hairy Yeti--along with some very

Monster! But it is Yeti who claims to be the most powerful one in
his family, all because of . . . the POWER OF YETI! This is the
power that comes with knowing you can succeed, but it will take
time and effort. And thanks to Yeti’s words of encouragement, the
boy starts looking at things in a new light. He doesn't know how to
tie his shoelaces . . . YETi! And he's not great at making soccer
goals . . . YETi! He might not be the biggest, strongest, or
fastest kid on the playground, but it turns out he's still pretty
powerful and full of potential--all because of the power of YETi.

Wilson Williams worries about passing his times-table tests
Wilson has a hard time with math, especially with Mrs. Porter's
timed multiplication tests. If only he were as quick as Laura
Vicks, the smartest kid in third grade, or as quick as his brother,
Kipper -- a kindergartner. Wilson's mother and father try to help,
but Wilson doesn't appreciate having to do practice tests on a play
date. Fortunately, his friend Josh Hernandez is a comfort, as is
Squiggles, the class hamster. Wilson is sure that with his own
little animal squeaking and cuddling beside him, he could learn
anything. But his mom doesn't like pets. So Wilson bravely
struggles on, hoping that one day in the not-too-distant future
he'll pass all his times-table tests. Then, surprisingly, Kipper
comes to the rescue.
With sensitivity and gentle humor, Claudia Mills examines a common
childhood fear and a common family experience. G. Brian Karas
provides tender, funny pictures.

"HOW MANY SEEDs in a pumpkin?" Mr. Tiffin asks his class as they
gather around the big, medium, and small pumpkins on his desk.
Robert, the biggest kid, guesses that the largest one has a million
seeds; Elinor, sounding like she knows what she's talking about,
guesses the medium one has 500 seeds; and Anna, who likes even
numbers better than odd ones, guesses that the little one has 22.
Charlie, the smallest boy in the class, doesn't have a guess.
Counting pumpkin seeds is messy business, but once the slimy job is
done, to everyone's surprise, the smallest pumpkin has the most
seeds! As Charlie happily exclaims, "Small things have a lot going
on inside of them."
Splitting things in half may seem like an easy thing to do, but when two siblings and a pizza are involved, things can get messy.

Brian Karas introduce the simplest of fractions, 1/2.
A luminous and lyrical tribute to the enduring, everyday sort of
love between a boy and his father. When the sun sets, Dad's night
shift as a school caretaker is just beginning. What is it like to
work at night, while the rest of the city is asleep? There's the
smell of lilacs in the night air, the dusky motorway in the
moonlight and glimpses of shy night-time animals to make the dark
magical. Playing basketball in the half-lit sport's hall, sweeping
the stage with the match on the radio, and reading out loud to his
father in the library all help the boy's time pass quickly. But
what makes the night really special? Just being with Dad.
