Bedtime Math: This Time It's Personal

Bedtime Math: This Time It's Personal is the second book in Laura Overdeck's Bedtime Math series, illustrated with Jim Paillot's cartoons. It offers more than 100 short, mischief-making math problems on topics that range from pillow forts and sneeze speeds to overfed pets and underwear, and every problem is written at three levels of challenge - Wee ones, Little kids and Big kids - plus a bonus question, so a parent can read one page aloud and give a five-year-old and a ten-year-old each something to solve. The book's mission is to make numbers a fun part of everyday family life rather than a school chore: the math is conversational, funny and tied to things children already notice, and no worksheet or prior knowledge is required.
