This is a cute book introducing kids to some basic geometry as the knight Sir Cumference tries to help King Arthur create a table to comfortably sit his knights without sharp corners or lots of whispering.

Shapes discussed include squares, rectangles, parallelograms, diamonds, octagons, ovals and of course circles. Circumference, radius, and diameter are also explained.

My girls enjoyed it and it will be interesting to see if they ask me to read it more than once while we have it on loan from our local library.

When Sir Cumference is given the wrong potion for a bellyache, he turns into a fire-breathing dragon. Now it is up to his son, Radius and his wife, Lady Di Ameter, to find the antidote. Using clever rhymes and outragous puns, the reader is invited to help solve the mystery.

Anything that introduces an element of fun in humor into math instruction works for me. I always found the subject frustrating as a child and would have loved some books like Neuschwander's to help make sense of it.

Not my favorite of the series, but I do like it. I read it with second graders today as part of their math enrichment.

A cute math book about dividing deserts into tens, hundreds, thousands.

This book is a fun and easy way to introduce simple math terms in a memorable way!

Really great book to explain the very first basics of geometry to little kids. And I mean little. My 2 year old could follow this but my 5 year old wasn't bored.

Very clever. A great book to get kids interested in math!
