Book Reviews of The Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat
Book Review: Exciting and fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my six year old who adores maths - especially doing problems in her spare time. We read a chapter whenever she is in a maths mood and try the problems together. Her cat often lies on her work and she relates to Penrose. The stories are short and include plenty of conversation so make them suitable even for bedtime reading.
This is not a book to read from cover to cover over a week but one to be dibbled in to when the mood takes. The chapters can be read in almost any order.
If you have a maths hungry child who wants some extension ideas away from the dull number crunching of school, then this is a perfect book.
