Series: The Math Adventurers

Introduces 5-7 year olds to multiplication through an adventure story featuring two robots as they search for bugs

Join two friendly and funny robots, Beep and Boots, as they learn all about multiplication and discover that maths is everywhere they look.

Beep and Boots are taking part in the Annual Big Bug Spot, where they're hoping to find lots of creepy-crawlies. As they venture through the woods they spy ten leaves, each being carried by three ants, and seven mushrooms, each with a pair of snails sitting on top! Will they find all the bugs on their spotting cards? And will they finally get to see the rare pink grasshopper? Watch Beep and Boots as they search for bugs - and learn lots about multiplication.

Characterful illustrations and rhyming text bring Beep and Boots to life. Children aged 5-7 will love seeing the adventures the robot duo go on, and will learn key mathematical concepts concerning multiplication in a gentle, fun way. A visual glossary and maths questions at the end of the book reinforce learning and encourage kids to look at the maths they can see in the world around them.
