Fun-filled
"A fun filled lifeline for those children who think they are drowning in Math." - Livemint, February 2008
A great book for kids!
T. V. Padma's love for mathematics and history comes out through the book. Although the book is about stories related to mathematics, after every story, there are a few pages of information on the concept dealt in the story and history related to that concept. The history and mathematics makes it a very interesting combination and in my opinion is what makes this book stand out. I am glad that T. V. Padma includes some interesting nuggets of information after every story. This almost makes the book a handy guide for mathematics teachers to introduce a concept and explain the history and significance of the concept. Proiti Roy's illustrations are lovely. I especially loved the black and white stick figures that play around numbers and the mathematical symbols. Saffron Tree
