Math can be fun! submitted by emjane on August 9, 2013, 11:10am Five goofy ducks put on a sideshow to demonstrate key math concepts, such as basic addition and subtraction, and comparing amounts.

Designed to cover the Common Core State Standards for kindergarten mathematics in Counting and Cardinality, the Wing-Wing brothers will have young readers laughing throughout. Text in the book is mostly limited to math problems, which are deftly illustrated by the hijinks of the wacky Wing-Wings. The simple, yet expressive cartoon ducks with their intentionally messy lines and coloring demonstrate addition, subtraction using spinning plates, tossing pies, and magic tricks.

Children will, without a doubt, be more enchanted by the illustrations than the text, but they will be exposed to the mathematical concepts even if they don't read the words.
