About the The Math Adventurers: A Day At The Zoo (Hardcover Book)

Join two friendly and funny robots, Beep and Boots, as they learn all about time and discover that math is everywhere they look.

Beep and Boots are looking forward to a day out at the zoo, especially getting to see their favorite animal – the giraffe. But they have to keep an eye on the time else they’ll miss feeding time! It’s all too easy to get distracted by lions, tigers, and tasty snacks – 15 minutes here, half an hour there! Pretty soon, Beep and Boots realize they might be late. Will they make it to the giraffe enclosure in time?
