Bookroo's summary

Mouse and her friends face a tug-of-war challenge, but forming equal teams proves tricky. As they explore different solutions, Mouse learns the power of math to balance the teams by weight. Will her calculations lead to a fair game, or will the tug-of-war remain uneven? Join Mouse in this delightful tale where math becomes the key to solving everyday problems, and discover how teamwork and clever thinking can make all the difference.

From the publisher

Mouse and her friends want to play tug-of-war, but they’ll need to use some everyday math to figure out how to make teams that are equal. As Mouse looks at various solutions she is not sure what it means to be equal. Nothing works until Mouse starts to think about it mathematically and divides the teams based on weight. Wonderful illustrations capture Mouse and her animal friends from whiskers to tails as they work to measure and equalize their teams based on size, weight, and effort. A perfect addition to any STEM/STEAM collection that shows readers how math can be used in everyday problem solving.
