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.

I think this book is very funny and exciting because it uses humour to hook the reader in, while learning maths. It teaches you about shapes. I would recommend this book to anyone over 6.

It gets a bit too mathsy and is a bit confusing. It does it's best to make it as enjoyable as possible.
