Format:Hardcover
This book has stunning illustrations in the style of Indian miniature paintings, including some surprise fold-out pages. It is educational and entertaining on many levels: it illustrates a difficult math concept, it tells a dynamic fable from another country, and it is beautiful to look at. Art, literature, and math convene in one delightful children's book. It would make a wonderful gift. My son enjoys it even though he is only 5, because he often wonders about big numbers, and the story is adventurous enough to hold his attention. 5 stars plus!

It's about math, but it's not. It's about fairness. The hero is female. And the art is great. My kids eyes popped when they saw the foldouts. I'm buying copies for each of their classrooms and libraries and for a couple of upcoming birthdays. I never fell in love with a children's book so quickly before.

I love this book! The illustrations are beautiful. The story is just right for elementary school children. It teaches that greed doesn't pay, and it teaches the power of mathematical doubling. I highly recommend this book. I wish every classroom had a copy.

Worthy AND Interesting.
I bought this and then was worried that it might be too worthy. Maybe the sort of book that adults love and children hate? Read more

A great book about someone who uses her head.
This story is about an Indian girl and a raja. She fools the raja and saves her people with what she knows about math. I liked the book.
