Me and this book are like two peas in a pod. We go all the back to my school days. (I've been out of school since 1960!) Let me tell you a little story. I used to walk to school everyday! I walked 2 hours each day, around 50 miles. I swim through rivers while being chased by crocodiles. I ran uphill both ways! Next time you think about claiming your life, think of me and my grandfather. (who was Winston Churchill btw.)
I love this book to teach my little ones. They come to my cottage everyday to come and see me. When two little kids came to see me, Hansel and Grettle, I used this book to teach them math. I taught them everyday until the whole thing was done. So, they threw themselves in the oven! :0

This book gave me a lot of headaches in both 8th and 9th grade. I was hoping to pay it forward, but my student ended up not needing it.
