 A wonderful way to remember pi January 25, 2007

I feel the age range given on the website should not be ages 4-8. This is appropriate for 8 and up. That said, my 5 year old enjoys it as just a fairy tale and I would not attempt any "teaching" to him. He listens as I read it to my older daughters and maybe it will seep in so when he's old enough to begin measuring, he will easily grasp the concepts.
This is a wonderful book - good illustrations and a clever story. The author works the math part in without it being cumbersome. A few times through this book and your child will have a good grasp of pi. At the least, it will be a good memory trigger if he/she needs help in class.
Great for Middle School kids April 11, 2005

I have use this book in my middle school classroom. The kids enjoy it. Yes, it is silly but heck so are middle school kids! Since reading the book and discussing it, the kids have a much better understanding of what pi really is, instead of just saying about 3.14.
This book is a BLAST! July 23, 2005

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!

This is great. My nine yr. old niece loved it, and she was able to understand the concept. Clever and good learning approach. Even her little brother was fascinated by the pictures, so I'm sure he will make use of it when he gets older. The artwork is really good, classic in style but with a lot of individuality. I recommend this for a range of ages because kids will grow into the book, and it is a wonderful way to learn.
