School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-5These introductory math books use games to show how to apply the concepts covered in each volume. Readers are encouraged to solve many different kinds of problems while playing simple board games or deciphering well-known puzzles. There is no detailed description of how to add or subtract. All the answers are in the back of the books, along with simple explanations of how to figure them out. The bright cartoon illustrations, the large print, and ample white space add to the titles' appeal. Good additions to math shelves for those who like to have a little fun with their numbers.JoAnn Rees, Sunnyvale Public Library, CA (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review

Math ideas are explained clearly and are supplemented with appropriate activities. Answers to the problems are at the back of the books. Bland cartoonlike drawings illustrate the minimal texts.
