4.0 out of 5 stars
A great introduction to math concepts,
By Marie V. "mom of 3" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alice in Numberland (I Love Math/Fantasy Math) (Hardcover)
First a disclaimer - while I didn't work on this book, I was part of the publishing team that developed this series, and though I left Time-Life nearly a decade ago, I'm very proud of the work we did in the Children's editorial group. I'm not writing for that reason, though. I'm writing as a parent, because my son, now 5, absolutely adores this book - so much so that I'm now shopping for a copy for a friend of his. My son has carried Alice around the house with him for a week straight and is constantly reading from this book. It's a terrific introduction to fundamental math concepts: to logic, the concept of fractions, basic arithmetic, patterns, even to telling time and to measurement. Each of the stories includes hands-on projects in parents' notes at the bottom of the page, and "Riddle Rabbits" sprinkled throughout offer an opportunity to practice what you've learned in a fun way. If my son's obsession is any indication, this book really engages children in putting together the basic building blocks they will need to be successful in math. It's also helping him become a better reader, as he adores the stories and tries to read them (often successfully) on his own. I can tell you that this book is part of a great Time-Life children's book series called I Love Math. This is the first book from the series that my son has pulled from my shelves, but he loves it so much, I know it won't be the last. It's just a shame that Time-Life is no longer producing such great books as these.

As with all other titles in this series, this is an excellent math literature book. It is full of puzzles & games. My 4, 6 & 8 yr old boys all love sitting down to read it together and there are questions that are appropriate for each of their levels. I highly recommend this title.

We read it every night. It has so much potential to explore many numerical,and symbolic parts. I even got some craft ideas out of it. Very very few books like these which go beyond the rote memorization of mathematical concepts.
