Sister Bear in “Unfinished Business”

[Sister --after bringing Brother make-up math homework-- sees Brother still playing with his dinosaur collection.]

If you can hold a dinosaur, you can hold a pencil!

[Sister puts Brother's make-up work on his bed and angrily walks away. Echoing from the book, "While Brother was having fun at home, his fellow classmates --in Teacher Bob's class-- were hard at work. They learned addition, subtraction and multiplication. And now, they were learning about division". For multiplication and division, they first learned about their multiplication times tables through 9 --counting by 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's, 8's and 9's-- and now they were learning multiplication and division facts through 9. But Brother, he has not done any of his multiplication and division homework since Sister brought him it on Monday.]
