"Selected for the CBC’s 2023 June Hot Off The Press Reading List (https://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lists/june-2023/).""Why study math? Because we use it every day! So many of my middle school students think that math is useless until we explain to them how often it comes up in daily life. I wish that all children had this book read to them frequently; more people might be more engaged in studying numbers!"" —YA Books Central ""While there are all number of counting books and activity books with math problems, I can’t think of another book that describes how we use numbers and how important they are."" —YA Books Central ""A look at the world of numbers that surrounds us every day. This is an all-encompassing look at numbers and the many ways they are present in our lives and I think this is so incredibly well done. From explaining division to Roman numerals to time zones and more, this is an outstanding resource to add to a home library or classroom."" —Picturebook Playdate IG ""This is such a fun series! Very bright with eye-catching illustrations. The text is accessible and engaging."" —Michelle Dunbar, Librarian"
