The Multiplying Menace Divides by Pam Calvert allows readers to learn about dividing by whole numbers and fractions, as well as division rules for equations involving zero, while they follow Peter and Zero on a math adventure. After being banished to the Abyss of Zero, Rumpelstiltskin is back, and he’s stirring up more trouble than ever. Together with his sidekick, Matilda, Rumpelstiltskin plots his revenge on Peter and uses his magical powers to divide the kingdom into frogs. Peter and his dog, Zero, must locate the Great Multiplier and find a solution that will break the Great Divide before Rumpelstiltskin has a chance to combine the two mighty math sticks. This book is a perfect mix of math, fairy tale, and fun.
