I was a contributing writer to this series of math books. These were produced by Kirchoff/ Wohlberg. My mother, Mary Jane Martin, was the managing editor on the project. It was a joy to work with Time Life and the series was creatively challenging. The intent was to provide interesting math content for teaching and learning math at home. Math is really a language, and the earlier a child can learn and love this language, the better.

I love how fun and educational this one is. It was an easy pick since my 4 yr old son loves numbers and seems to be fascinated by math. Little stories and then math puzzles are definitely a fun way to present it and the fact that there was a board game in the front cover was a big hit too. Covers lots of early math concepts- counting, measuring, volume, fractions, etc. I wonder if there are any more like this?

If you are in need of some Math children's books this series is worth reading. They have several math stories and various pages of riddles and poems. Lots of math presented in a fun way. These are long picture books.
