Sir Cumference and the Roundabout Battle

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wayne Geehan. Rounds 2, the castle steward's son, uses rounding to calculate the number of bows and arrows Sir Cumference and his archers have for defense. The arrow count isn't high enough to defeat the castle's attackers, so Rounds 2 comes up with another plan. Mathematical thinking is modeled well, and the series' trademarks--amusingly groan-worthy puns and acrylic illustrations set in the Middle Ages--make their usual appearance.
