Suddenly they spy the Penguins
zooming downhill, CRASH! The Penguins apologize "Snow problem," says Cat, but it seems that there is a problem: the Penguins keep slamming into things! So they all try again, with Peg shouting directions each time they come to a hurdle.
"Go over! Go under! Go in between!" But the Penguins still have no clue, because they dont know what over, under, and in between mean.
Luckily, Cat points out some directional arrows to follow, and a problem is solved, . . for the moment. Now can anyone figure out how to keep the ice floe the Penguins have landed on from tilting There wasn't any math but there was still a problem to solve.

This book teaches "under", "over", and "inbetween", Peg and Cat help some penguins get through a downhill ski course to compete in Animal Winter Games, It's simple, but cute.

I did enjoy the page numbers written as equations, though! It did, however, intrigue me enough to want to check out the other Peg Cat books.
