This review is from: Math For Kids and Other People Too (Paperback)
This book contains many good ideas and touches a wide range of areas of mathematics. However, it needs better editing. In some cases, there are just omissions in directions, while in other cases they are unclear. Fortunately, you can easily look up what the author meant to say in wikipedia. Also, I found the personification of mathematical objects just plain weird.
My suggestion is to request this book via interlibrary loan. I found several things in this book I can use with my children.
