This book makes Roman Numerals easy to understand. You can learn the system in a few easy lessons. It gives a hands on way to learn for those who like to touch and move things when they learn.

I checked it out from the library for my first born. Found it again for my second born and now have decided to buy it.

My 9 yr old son can't get enough numbers (and I can't get far enough away from them--shhh, don't tell him).

But this book's fun and simple art and explanation make it a manual even a math loathing mother could love.

By the way, the other edition on "Look Inside" is nothing like this one--frankly I prefer this one to the old.

And who can resist the horse drawn chariot on the cover?

Roman numerals are on clocks, in books, and on buildings: but what do they mean for modern users? Colorful drawings and interesting ideas lend to a coverage of Roman numerals that explains and defines their importance for new audiences.
