Long, Ethan The Wing
Wing Brothers: Geometry Palooza! Holiday
House, 2014. $15.95 PICTURE BOOK Content: PG (dismemberment of a
chicken).
Five chicken brothers perform
three circus-like acts to show different aspects of geometry. They shoot each other out of a cannon, they move shapes around and they do fractions. In the end they cut their brother in a magic
box into quarters, but when they go to take a bow he falls apart in
quarters. They glue him back together,
but it was still kind of gross.
I didn’t
like this book. I think it didn’t
explain enough about math and there wasn’t a story line, so I'm not sure what the point of the book was. The illustrations are lacking and the
dismembered chicken made it shocking and hard to recommend.
