Customer Reviews

We LOVE this book!!!

I barely remember learning Roman numerals in school, and I'd forgotten most of what I learned, so when I needed to teach my own children I looked for a book that would make it fun for all of us. This book had us giggling with delight as we pointed out tiny details in the amazing pictures. In fact, the illustrations are so cute I'm thinking of buying a second copy so I can cut it up and frame some of them. This is a book you can read again and again and see something new each time. And of course the more you read it, the better you learn Roman numerals! My 7 and 10 year olds can now read any Roman numeral (like the dates at the end of movie credits) almost instantly, and I doubt they'll ever forget them thanks to this very clever book. We LOVE it!

Math is fun!!

I've always been in love with math, and I'm so tickled to see a book that teaches Roman numerals in such a delightful (yet thorough) way. Precious precious book!!! Patti the Crosspatch Pig :@)

A fun way to learn and review Roman numerals.

My five year old has enjoyed this book several times from the library. The pictures are unusual for children's books and appeal to his love of detail, much as the Where's Waldo books. The introduction to the numerals is very paced and certainly helped me understand them better than ever. If your child is fascinated with math, numbers or counting they will love this book!
