Superheroes-in-training use math to save the day, in this action-packed picture book by the bestselling author of Creepy Carrots.
Leonard is no ordinary kid--he's enrolled in Superhero School, where leaping tall buildings in a single bound is child's play. If only long division, fractions, and multiplication came as naturally! But when Mr. Tornado and the rest of the teachers get kidnapped by some ice zombies, Leonard and his pals will need to use their math skills if they stand any chance of dividing (and conquering) the enemy.
With the humor and accessible math concepts of
I'm Trying to Love Math and the superhero appeal of Marvel, this is the perfect book to show young ones how math skills can be their own superpower.
