Review Detail

While this book is primarily geared towards younger readers (ages 6 - 10), it bears mentioning on this site because of a couple of reasons.

Firstly, it is a wonderfully imaginative and innovative work. It truly delivers on its promise of teaching children math in a new and interesting way. It is also a great deal of fun. The rhymes are clever, the concept is great, and the illustrations are bright and engaging.

Also, this would be a great book to help any learning disabled child (or simply one who has trouble in math) learn math, no matter their age.

Other interesting facts abound (besides the mathematical ones). Young readers will be delighted to read about how camels store water in their humps or how strawberries grow.

This is an excellent book for younger readers and should be a staple in classrooms across the land. I, for one, will be buying a copy for each of my nieces and nephews.
