Product Description(Amazon.com)
Wilson Williams worries about passing his times-table tests
Wilson has a hard time with math, especially with Mrs. Porter's timed multiplication tests. If only he were as quick as Laura Vicks, the smartest kid in third grade, or as quick as his brother, Kipper -- a kindergartner. Wilson's mother and father try to help, but Wilson doesn't appreciate having to do practice tests on a play date. Fortunately, his friend Josh Hernandez is a comfort, as is Squiggles, the class hamster. Wilson is sure that with his own little animal squeaking and cuddling beside him, he could learn anything. But his mom doesn't like pets. So Wilson bravely struggles on, hoping that one day in the not-too-distant future he'll pass all his times-table tests. Then, surprisingly, Kipper comes to the rescue.

MY THOUGHTS: Very good book for young readers. This book is about Wilson and his worries that he'll never pass all his multiplication times table tests. Wilson is in 3rd grade. When the children pass all the times tables they get a reward of an ice cream cone from the teacher. Wilson fears his ice cream cone will be buried in the freezer before he ever gets his times tables done. Wilson also has a little brother in kindergarten who can already do time tables. And Wilson really wants a cute and cuddly hamster like Squiggles at school. Does Wilson learn all his times tables and get his ice cream cone? Does he get a hamster? You'll have to read the book to find out.
MY RATING: 5
