Splitting the Herd: A Corral of Odds and Evens
Preview: Hear it

Miss Emmas cows just cant stay put! Each time they wander into Cowboy Kirbys yard, he uses odd and even numbers to count the herd. Then he sends all the evens back to Emma and keeps the odds for himself. Its only fair, he thinks. And, besides, Emma sure is cute. Kirby doesnt notice that his herd keeps getting smaller while Emmas grows larger. Emma is the kind of gal that is good at math (as well as running a ranch and baking a cake). Yet shes tenderhearted and doesnt want to hurt her friends feelings by explaining his math mistake. How will she solve their problem with odds and evens? Count on Emma for coming up with a surprise ending!
