WEEPLE PEOPLE: A Sciencing Unit

Despite the aggressively cheery text and cluttered format, Gillespie's ""sciencing unit"" presents some visual puzzles worth poring over as it challenges children to ""sort out the Weeple People"" in a series of exercises in recognizing the common factors of sets. If Toopeds, Jolls, Circloons and Fraxes prove a cinch to identify -- ""take a deep breath and turn the page!""; the Tweeps, Wumps and Whammynackers will be enough to flummox all but the most keen-eyed classifiers (and the answers are in code).
