Age: Preschool-1st grade

When someone leaves the chicken coop open and the chicks run-a-muck, it's up to Peg and Cat to use their math skills to help solve their poultry predicament. I love that the story is set atop graph paper, and that algebraic equations scatter the sky, and there's a cute song about counting chicks, and I love the tone of the story, but the final solution for wrangling up the chicks is accidental, requiring no math. Pretty anticlimactic for the general purpose of the story.

A side note, math is used as supplemental fun. It is not the strict purpose or plot of the story.
