Benty Breight’s Jig

Picture book

In the Wild West, everything is essential for winning. Even mathematics.

A Friday to forget for Benty Breight! Or rather, a story to tell in the saloon while ordering a glass of tasty and refreshing Kentucky Soda. And as he recounts the numbers of his eventful day in the tough world of the Wild West, here come vultures, bandits, cacti, bad-tempered Indians, and rattlesnakes in a story that seems incredible, but… by the way… is it all true?

  • A cheerful western-style ballad, full of laughs and fun.
  • A fun way to help children become familiar with numbers.
  • A mix of suspense and math to learn while having fun in the Wild West.
