This was an instant hit with my children and me. Because what do you know, math really does apply to real life! This book illustrated that fact in a fun way that got my children excited about math. The story topics were fact based and presented in kid entertaining appeal and illustrations. For example, in the "Tipping the Scales" narrative (pg22-23), it compared the biggest animal on land and sea .."African elephant weighs around 8,000 pounds, a blue whale weighs about 160 tons. A ton is 2,000 pounds, so that's over 300,000 pounds... Not that the difference matters much: If you had both animals as pets, you wouldn't want either one to sit on you" and you'll find a picture of an elephant sitting on a pickup truck and a huge whale too big for a human weighing scale. Moreover, after each tale came the math problems in three levels, easiest to hardest, Wee ones, Little kids, and Big kids. To give you an idea of the math problems, in this story Wee ones asked, "If an elephant weighs 8,000 pounds, an your car weighs 3,000 pounds, how much more does the elephant weigh?"; Little kids, "A ton is 2,000 pounds. If an elephant weighs 8,000 pounds, how many tons is that?; and Big kids, "If you have a pet whale that weighs 160 tons, how many 4-ton elephants would you need to math the weight of whale?". Hence, this book had chock full of fun and interesting narratives that is making our bedtime story time thrilling and I'm confident that it will do the same for you! Amusing stories, clever illustrations, and challenging math problems. Bedtime now is even more fun and building confidence! Oh, I asked my kids what they would rate this book from a scale of 1 to 5 and with resounding yells came, Five!; No, Eleven!; No, a Thousand! There you have it.
