It is the story of maths and is presented in a funny and child friendly way. It is also very colourful with delightful characters

I love this book and recommend it to anyone who likes maths (like myself) I also like history so this book was just made for me. It is funny and factual at the same time. It really helped me understand maths in a simple yet not complicated way. I think it is very cleverly written having just the right amount of facts and just the right amount of fun in it too.

I really like this book as it has a lot of information on the evolution and invention of maths. Along with that, the added humour in this book makes it even better.

I like this book because it tells you all about maths such as how we count in base 10 and explains all about binary numbers.
