Corkscrew Counts: A Story About Multiplication

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Anna Currey. Corkscrew the pig's owners throw him a birthday party. Twelve guests brainstorm game ideas: six pairs can play badminton, four groups of three can jump rope, and so on. Feeling left out, the porcine honoree spoils all the games until the children finally include him. Multiplication concepts aren't fully explained, but scenes of animal hijinks are lively and energetic.
