Murderous Math are the math but with the funny stuff added in!This is the first book of this kind that I read and was really interesting because I was interested in math and I am also now ，and I would recommend this to someone else who's also interested and who's wanting to learn math with lots of laughter in！

One thing that interested me is that you can turn a piece of square paper into a perfect hexagon. This book is about shapes. It tells you about shapes and why a shape would be good for making an object. For example, a circle for wheels instead of a triangle. I would recommend this book as it teaches about shapes and it is also funny.
