Review

The book is a great tool for parents to use with children. The illustrations are cute with Mr. Mouse helping to guide the way using real-world math, practice problems with answers, analogies, mental math tricks, and activities. There are 10 chapters with two to seven parts. There is an introduction explaining the "new math" to parents that help to teach kids how to analyze how the math works. There are some basic instructions with a "game time" section for play and practice. The back has an answer key and index. The book itself is paperback.

Overall Book Score: very good
