Review:For teachers, this book offers ready-made, thoughtfully crafted, coherent learning plans for young students who are underchallenged by grade-level and uninspiring approaches to math. For parents, the book provides a meaningful solution to the comment, "I don't have anything good to do today." For eager young thinkers, the book creates a world in which likeable characters, imagination, words, and numbers combine to create a mental playground where learning happens just for the fun of it. --Carol Ann Tomlinson, Ed.D., Curry School of Education, University of Virginia
