Clever Coyote thinks it's time for lunch –– and also time to show her friends how, with some simple rounding, she can add up numbers in her head. If only she were as good at hunting as she is at math! |
“"Ha!" said Clever Coyote. "I bet I can do it in my head and come really close." "No way," said Little One. "Around 60 roadrunners," said Clever Coyote. Careful took out a pencil and paper and added up the numbers. "It's exactly 58," he said. "She was just a little over."”
