Written by Cindy Neuschwander | Illustrated by Wayne Geehan | Age 8-12 years | 32 Pages | Paperback

 

Sir Cumference is back, and this time the castle is in danger--Sir Wantsalot and his men are plotting to attack. Will castle-steward-in-training Rounds II be able to figure out if there are enough bows and arrows to thwart the enemy in time? Join Sir Cumference and the gang for more wordplay, puns, and problem solving in the clever math adventure that introduces readers to the concept of rounding numbers. When Steward Edmund Rounds and Sir Cumference notice that there are strangers camped nearby, Rounds II decides to investigate despite being involved with the task of learning how to make accurate counts of the castle's stores of food, supplies, and weaponry. When he reports back that an enemy is lying in wait, everyone moves quickly to defend the castle. But wait! Will Rounds II be able to figure out how many bows and arrows they have to create an appropriate battle plan? Using rounding techniques to figure out the totals more quickly, Rounds II is just in time to help stave off a potentially disastrous attack. 

 

Readers will love making the rounds with Rounds II and the gang in this new installment of the Sir Cumference series that makes math fun and accessible for all.
