Here are a few kids’ books that aren’t mentioned here that explain math concepts in a fun way (that I wish I had when I was a kid):

I recommend googling and listening before trying to read Boy Who Loved Math – which was delightful, and don’t miss the explanation of all the number series that Erdos is pondering through the book.

Your list will help us expand our love of biographical style books. We love Matisse so we enjoyed The iridescence of Birds and Matisse’s Garden. We also loved Mary’s Garden.

I especially love to see inspiring biographies of women for my girls! I’ll be sharing this post 🙂
