In three acts, five performing duck brothers compete with one another and introduce basic math concepts by spinning plates, juggling pies, and disappearing in a box. The simple cartoony panels give the book a comic-book appearance, and humor abounds via sibling rivalry, slapstick elements, and even a flatulence joke. An appended note addresses Common Core State Standards for kindergarten mathematics.
