I really like this book.

I think this book was done really well. It has enough of a story to keep kids interested, and the math doesn't take over so much that it becomes like reading a text book. It has just enough math talk in to get the message about how we get pi across, and I really like that they use a familiar visual reference.

An adventure in Pi.

I picked up this book since I was learning about Pi in a math class and I am really glad that I did. My daughter liked the dragon and I liked that it had math ideas for names of the characters.

This book is a BLAST!

My kids love this book! They range in age from an 11 yr old girl to a 3 yr old boy and they all enjoy it! My son loves the story and the knights and adventure. And, he is learning something in the process. My older kids enjoy the story also but on a different level and it also reinforces what they have already learned! What a great concept! I can't wait for more to come out! We already own all 4!
