Chirpy the chick learns that music is math, and songs can solve noisy problems in the third book in the Great Mathemachicken series, written by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Krulik and illustrated by Charlie Alder.
Chirpy the chicken is not feeling very chipper when a group of birds calling themselves the Crow Family Band keeps the coop awake with their loud singing. She's supposed to be the Great Mathemachicken, but math can't solve their sleep problems. Or can it? 
At school, Chirpy and Quackers are singing a new tune as they take a trip to the music classroom. There, they learn about musical notes, which seem to work an awful lot like fractions. 
And when she sees how Mrs. Zoober's students, singing high and low, together make one wonderful tune, she gets a egg-stra good idea how the chickens might join forces . . . and even add some feathered new friends to the mix, to make something truly special.
The third book in the Great Mathemachicken chapter book series, combines New York Times bestselling author Nancy Krulik's trademark humor and clever wordplay with hilarious and lively two-color artwork from the incredibly talented Charlie Alder, to create an engrossing and charming STEAM-based adventure that will have young readers clucking for more.

      Chirpy the chick comes up with a peaceable response when the raucous rehearsals of an avian rock band perched in the trees cause sleepless nights in the chicken coop below. The jays, crows, and other corvid members of the Crow Family Band caw all the louder after boorish poultry bully Clucky sourly complains about their "noise." In a demonstration of gravity, they also hurl acorns at the chickens. But Chirpy finds a harmonic solution to the problem when she takes a trip to the local public school, where she often secretly listens in on lessons, and learns about rhythm and pitch...and makes the "eggs"-citing discovery that musical notes are fractions. Back at the coop, she composes a lullaby ("Sing the quarter notes fast / Cheep cheep cheep cheep / Sing the whole notes slooooow / Cheeeeeeeep / You're getting sleepy at last / Off to dreamland you go"), forms a band (Cheep Trick), and soon has both feathered flocks singing themselves to sleep in sweet "caw-ncert." Sporting a bow decorated with musical notes, Chirpy is easy to spot among the avians in Alder's grayscale and yellow illustrations, and the human children in school are depicted with a range of skin tones. Clever puns and endearing characters help Chirpy's "There's math in music" message shine. Conflict resolution in the farmyard, with musical notes and a few sly yolks. (instructions for making a paper plate tambourine) (Animal fantasy. 7-9)
