Rumpelstiltskin is back! This time he's making mischief with his multiplying stick. Can Peter unlock the secret of the stick in time to save the kingdom? Whimsical illustrations bring fun to multiplying whole numbers and fractions. |
“In the firelight, Peter spotted two tiny meat pies. His stomach rumbled. Rumpelstiltskin pointed his stick at the pies and said, "Pies times five." Ten pies appeared on the table. Rumpelstiltskin gobbled six of the pies as Peter watched.”
