Wow, that's a lot of math! I loved this! What a great way to get kids to correlate math problems to the read world even if the real world part is kind of silly. This would be a great book to take problem by problem and challenge students to work the out or just look at them for inspiration on how to work through difficult ideas. There are so many different avenues one could follow to use this with children in a home or classroom setting. A lot of children find math stifling and boring but this book with the incredible illustrations help change the normal dull problems into an explosion of fun! I can't wait to grab a physical copy of this or my students! Now I'm off to calculate how many cups of chocolate milk will fit into my bathtub!
