This review is from: Double Bubble Trouble! (Hardcover)

"Christopher" continues to absorb young children into a colorful, imaginative world while they learn math concepts almost without knowing it.

(From last review): The whole series has a consistent image and covers math basics critical to young elementary school kids. I recommend the series for any 4-8 year-old, especially if they need to solidify those basics! The images are inspired!
