From Booklist:

The Wing Wing brothers return for an encore, visiting a carnival and, incidentally, demonstrating a math concept: the usefulness of 10s in counting, subtracting, and adding up to 100. In the first chapter, Willy tests his strength by whacking the base of a high-striker game but scores only 10 points. Woody scores 30; Wilmer, 50; and Wendell, 90. Inadvertently bonking himself on the head and hitting the base as he passes out, Walter rings the bell and wins with 100. The other two chapters involve a hot-dog-eating contest and a Ferris wheel. Told through colorful, comical cartoon-style panels, a running text, and the occasional sound effect, the amusing stories open the way for kids to visualize and absorb the simple math lessons. Even zanier than The Wing Wing Brothers Math Spectacular! (2012), this picture book features the same winning combination of math and madcap fun. Preschool-Grade 2. --Carolyn Phelan
