I bought this book as a resource for vocabulary words and fell in love with it. Math is not my subject by any means but when you put a story to it, I am good!! This book puts a fun spin on the concept of circumference and understanding what it is. Math teachers would be wise to use these books (yes, there are more) in their classroom to teach concepts because some of us learn better through story!
