Description

Wilson Williams struggles with his times-table tests. He finds it hard to keep up with Mrs. Porter's timed multiplication exercises, especially when compared to his classmates. Wilson wishes he could be as quick and confident in math as some of his peers. To help him cope, Wilson's family tries various approaches, but he's not keen on practicing during playdates. Fortunately, having a supportive friend like Josh Hernandez and the comfort of class hamster Squiggles by his side helps ease his worries. Despite his mother's reservations about pets, Wilson finds solace in his little companion. With gentle humor and sensitivity, Claudia Mills explores a common childhood fear and family experience that many can relate to. G. Brian Karas brings tender and amusing illustrations to the story, making it an endearing read for children and parents alike.
