This book is exactly as advertised. It's a baby book about calculus and it's awesome! I bought it for my young nephew and love reading it to him. It's well written, amusing and adorable. If you are a math geek or just want a unique gift for a baby/toddler this is a great choice.
As was bound to happen, some reviewers are complaining because the book is not helping them learn calculus. I'm guessing they are also angry that Dr. Seuss' book Green Eggs and Ham did not actually teach them how to prepare said green eggs and ham. People, it's a baby book for goodness sake.

This is a paperback book with simple, vibrant colors and drawings. Humorously written and not too complicated. I bought this as a gift for my newborn nephew whose parents are both engineers. I think this is going to be the hit of Christmas in our house. Also, for kids, if they've seen math like this their whole lives, they won't be afraid of it when then get to algebra, pre-calc, etc when they get to high school. Kudos to the author!

My hubby just got a PHD in applied math and thought this would be a cute thing for him to have for our 3 year old and our new baby. My husband really liked the math (though he said the illustrations were pretty crappy - I told him he should make his own book then!) and even exclaimed they even have natural limits!
My 3 year old thinks its a fun story and talks about how poor "x" is very sad b/c the other numbers made fun of him, until he found a good play friend in "f". He especially likes them swimming in the pool made by the concavity.
Great gift!

Not particularly amusing
I was rather disappointed that the text wasn't more amusing for me or my son. It certainly isn't for infants. Read more

Great gift for niece
She may see it as just another book that will be read to her. However, I think it is a really fun way to put calculus. It is a very funny book.

Cute story
I'm not sure my kids are ready for regression analysis but this is a cute story about f and x and how they became friends. For some reason they really love "PARABOLAS!"

Great!
I bought this for my actuary husband to read to our new baby girl. He got a kick out of it. Perfect gift for the slightly nerdy person in your life. Fun reading for babies :-)

Cute Book but Not for Infants
I like this book as a stealthy way to introduce mathematical concepts to children at an early age. However, this is not appropriate for infants because it's a simple paperback... Read more
