The Great Mathemachicken 2: Have a Slice Day

Nancy Krulik

Chirpy the chick makes a new friend who helps her discover how delicious fractions can be in the second book in New York Times bestselling author Nancy Krulik.

After her feats of math and science derring-do, Chirpy is the talk of the coop. So when the chicks face a new problem--Clucky greedily chomping down on all the chow--they turn to their Great Mathemachicken for a solution.

Wandering off to think, she meets Quackers, a very curious duck, who has a lot of his own questions. Unfortunately, Chirpy doesn't have answers. But she knows the best place to find them--school! So the pair hops on the bus to do some investigation, learning about reading and pizza, tally marks and fractions. And it turns out, fractions are yummy . . . and may be the answer to the chickens' coop conundrum.

The second book in the Great Mathemachicken chapter book series, combines New York Times bestselling author Nancy Krulik's trademark humor and clever wordplay with hilarious and lively two-color artwork from the incredibly talented Charlie Alder, to create an engrossing and charming STEM-based adventure that will have young readers clucking for more.
