Title: Finally, math she enjoys!
Review: Definitely a "must have" for parents of high ability children who need an engaging and creative approach to math concepts. My daughter (8 yr.) simply will not complete worksheets, workbooks, or any other repetitive math drill, but she certainly does love a good cat story! For Christmas she received this book and The Adventures of Penrose, plus Fractals, Googols, and Other Math Adventures. She loves these stories, and is drawn into the exercises with enthusiasm. Ms. Pappas has created an original and adventurous series that "has just the right amount of facts and fun", to quote my daughter. Partner this series with the book "The Number Devil" by Hans Magnus Enzenberger, which is also a favorite in our home.
