Dinosaur Deals by Stuart J Murphy

Mike and his little brother, Andy, are headed for the Dinosaur Card Trading Fair.  They’re ready to wheel and deal.  It’s, 4 Stegosaurus for 1 Triceratops, and 2 Triceratops for 1 Allosaurus.  But can they get what they really want: the tremendous, gigantic, ferocious, Tyrannosaurus Rex?  The maths concept of equivalency — understanding when values are equal — is introduced in this fast-paced story as two brothers try to beat the clock and make the ultimate trade.
