Review

Though Peg + Cat are PBS Kids characters they transition nicely to book format. While attending the South Pole Animal Winter Games it becomes very obvious that the skiing penguins do not understand concepts needs as in under, over and in between. As coach Peg trains the four teammates, they succeed but not without several interesting situations. Youngster will laugh at the silly penguins while adults will appreciate that young readers have mastered the math concepts. This reader is not a fan of books printed from TV series but perhaps this fills a place for young readers. The illustrations are comical and the use of boxes around the illustrations makes the text more readable.

Overall Book Score: good
