The Pirate Problem

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of fairness, especially during snack time or playdates where things need to be divided. It is the perfect tool for a child who feels 'the world isn't fair' or gets anxious when they don't have exactly the same amount as someone else. In this musical adventure, Peg and Cat meet a group of pirates who have a massive problem: they don't know how to share their peaches. If the pirates don't get equal shares, they get cranky and sing horribly off-key. Through humor and catchy logic, Peg teaches them how to divide a whole into parts, modeling patience and the mathematical side of justice. It turns a potential tantrum over 'who got more' into a fun, rhythmic problem-solving exercise for kids ages 4 to 8.
