Oh, it's a lovely little book, you know. It's sums without anyone mentioning the word. It's prime numbers, division and multiplication without anyone even suggesting that's what you're doing. In fact you might just read the book and think that it was a story about a couple of bugs who thought that thirteen might be an unlucky number. You could even just love the fact that there are bright colours and the book's good to look at.
I'd like to see one of these books (at the very least) in every primary school library just because it shows that numbers have a practical application in a fun way and because it just might get children wondering about numbers. At home , it might not stay on the favourites shelf indefinitely but I still think that you'll think it money well spent.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
Rather younger children will enjoy [[The Selfish Crocodile Counting Book by Faustin Charles and Michael Terry]]. We thought [[Even Monsters Need Haircuts by Matthew McElligott]] was great fun too.
