This book is one of the best books ever written. I can read it one day and be inspired and on another be discouraged. Its simplicity makes it ambiguous, dimensional, and endlessly fascinating.

Customer Review:
This book has cute full-color illustrations, mostly of babies in different positions pointing to their body parts. The pages are thick and easy to turn. What I don't love about it is that there is no "story" but for a young baby, that's not a problem. He mostly likes to look at the pictures and we... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I bought this book for my daughter who was struggling with math. I loved Danica on Wonder Years, so I figured it would at least be entertaining. My daughter loves this book, and also the fun quizzes, and the neat tricks she has for remembering functions. | 4.5 / 5.0
