Summary: This fun book is educational, and a great way to practice math with your child.  The math story chapters included are Exploding Food, Wild Pets, Extreme Vehicles, Sports You Shouldn’t Try At Home, and Really Odd Jobs.  The illustrations are as quirky as the stories!  Each math story has an interesting explanation, and then a math question for three different abilities. “Wee ones”, “Little kids”, and “Big kids” can each answer a question that pertains to the math story.

Review: What a fun way to instill a love for math in your child!  There is a great introduction for parents and adults to explain how to use the book, but the main thing is to have fun with math.  It’s really hard not to read ahead and see all the fun stories.  This is a great book to read along with your child, talk about the stories, and then solve the math problem.  I highly recommend the book.  Also consider checking out the Bedtime Math website and signing up for their free Daily Math Problem by email, or getting the free Bedtime Math app.
