Coco is a little girl who loves almost everything about third grade — except math! Coco’s friends adore playing multiplication games, which only makes her feel worse about math. After struggling with homework and losing a game in front of her whole class, Coco feels humiliated and has a terrible nightmare! In her dream, the Multiplication Monster laughs an evil laugh and attacks her in front of her classmates when she answers a problem wrong. In Coco’s Number Nightmare children ages 6 to 8 will find out how Coco overcomes her fear of math, gets rid of the malicious Multiplication Monster, and learns the value of a teacher who believes in her! The collaborative effort of author Georgie Hanlin and illustrator Maegan Penley, “Coco’s Number Nightmare” is an especially recommended addition to family, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for young readers.
