King Sidney is silly; he only eats 6: 6 string beans, 6 peanuts, 6 peppermint sticks. But when the chef of the palace, the talented Chef Brolly from Brixes, grows tired of preparing 6 of everything, Sidney must learn to compromise. Happily, he also learns how to divide. 
Comparisons of greater than/less than and connate number sense abound in this colorful, award winning picture book for early elementary school age children.
