Reviews
"The explanations are clear and detailed. The bright, computer-enhanced illustrations will appeal to readers and also help to clarify the mathematical concepts. . . . An excellent supplement to reinforce these concepts."--School Library Journal "The clear, well-focused text leaves plenty of room for imagination in the colorful, digitally rendered illustrations, where cheerful characters romp about, lightening the tone and making the lesson that much easier to absorb. An eye-catching introduction to dimensions."--Booklist
