Synopsis
“With just the right amount of math and humor, Overdeck continues to present mathematical concepts in fun and easy-to-digest pieces that will simultaneously entertain and educate young readers.” ―School Library Journal on Bedtime Math: This Time It's Personal
Get ready for back-to-school season with the Bedtime Math mission: to make math a fun part of kids' everyday lives!
"We want kids to feel about math the way they feel about dessert after dinner." ―Laura Overdeck, Time magazine
In, Bedtime Math: This Time It's Personal, families will find fun, mischief-making math problems that kids can't wait to solve. With over 100 math riddles on topics from pillow forts and and sneeze speeds to overfed pets and underwear, kids will find math isn't just fun, it can be found in their everyday lives. And with three different levels of challenge (Wee ones, Little kids, and Big kids), there's something for everyone.
Just as we all love stories before bedtime, families will find math is equally as engaging. Many generations―kids and parents included―have been intimidated by math, but Bedtime Math is here to shake things up. We can make numbers fun, and change the world, one Bedtime Math puzzle at a time!

About the Authors
Laura Overdeck has a BA in astrophysics from Princeton University and knows numbers. Since she enjoys them so much, she (along with her husband John) decided to give their three children math problems instead of bedtime stories, and BEDTIME MATH was born.
Jim Paillot has contributed illustrations to many children's books, including the Bedtime Math series.
Reviews
PreS-Gr 4—With just the right balance of math and humor, Overdeck continues to present mathematical concepts in fun and easy-to-digest pieces that will simultaneously entertain and educate young readers. The book uses bodily forms and functions, clothing, personal preferences, habits, and athletic feats as jumping-off points for fun and creative math problems. (For instance, a spread titled "You've Nailed It" offers information on how fast finger and toenails grow, followed by several math questions of varying levels.) As with her previous installment, Bedtime Math: A Fun Excuse to Stay Up Late (Feiwel & Friends, 2013), Overdeck does not suggest age ranges for each math problem but instead subtly labels appropriate questions for "wee ones," or preschool age kids (focusing on shapes, counting, and comparing numbers); "little kids" (examining basic addition and subtraction); and "big kids" (tackling multiplication and higher digit numbers). Expanding from the previous edition, this title now includes higher-level "bonus" questions, which require several steps to calculate the correct answer. Furthermore, the problems targeted at "wee ones" are now more engaging, as readers are asked to count items on the page, enlist the assistance of an adult to count fingers and toes, and find shapes in the illustrations. Although there is no table of contents, answers to each question can easily be found on their respective pages, and an "Equation Chart" in the back of the book explains the math involved with question. Cartoonlike illustrations add humor throughout. A worthwhile investment for both public and school libraries.—Meaghan Darling, Plainsboro Public Library, NJ
