Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland
Cindy Neuschwander / Grades 3-4 /
A third math adventure, Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland
by Cindy Neuschwander, illus. by Wayne Geehan, chronicles Sir Cumference's son,
Radius, in a quest to earn his knighthood by rescuing a king. The circular medallion
(a protractor) given to Radius by his father and his mother, Lady Di of Ameter, aid
him in examining every angle along the way; and readers get a circular medallion of
their own with which to follow along.
