Synopsis
Sir Cumference and Lady Di discover Fracton numbers while purchasing cloth and cheese at the Fracton Faire. While twofourths may seem like the same as one-half, in truth it denotes two parts of one-half, or two quarters of the whole. But the real mystery is the fact that items at the fair keep disappearing, and Sir C, Lady Di, and the Earl of Fracton must set a numeric trap for the thief, teaching an important lesson along the way about the comparative size of fractions.
Puns both literal and visual abound in this fun adventure story with beloved characters and a solid pedagogical foundation.

“Fine fabrics!” “Fresh cheese!” Baa, baa!
It was the opening morning of the Fracton Faire.
“Such a merry atmosphere!” said Lady Di of Ameter. She and Sir Cumference strolled jauntily through the crowds with their friend Reginald Parton, the Earl of Fracton.
The two men stopped to watch a sword swallower while Lady Di wandered over to a cloth merchant’s booth. She ran her hand over a length of fabric. “How perfectly soft!” she exclaimed.
The merchant smiled. “You can buy all or part,” she said, pointing to the sign above her.
“What do those numbers mean?” Lady Di asked.
“They’re Fracton numbers, my lady,” the woman answered. “They are used to measure equal pieces of something, such as this beautiful cloth.”
