Good

Its usefulness for teaching math to children. It does not create any impact on young child as most of them cannot read and understand fully.

A must for all, young and adult alike, who are afraid of Mathematics. This book brings out the magic of numbers and removes all biases against mathematics. A delightful read.

My child is too young for this book, but I find it very good for the beginners. When he will start reading it or doing problems from this book, then he will realise.
