Editorial Reviews
Bennie dreads math class. He finds learning math boring, numbers confusing, and problems frustrating. But one day, an unexpected discovery changes everything. As Bennie navigates through daily activities-eating lunch in the cafeteria, playing on the playground, and even visiting his favorite ice cream shop-he begins to see how math is woven into every aspect of life.
With charming illustrations by Firman Putra and an engaging narrative, "What is math good, anyway?" shows readers that math isn't just about numbers on a page - it's a useful tool that can help them solve real-world problems, make smart decisions, and yes, even have fun.
Perfect for young readers, ages 3-8, the book uses humor and a bit of silliness to bring home the story's point. Frankel explains that she began writing books to explain things to her own children. "My kids learn valuable lessons best through light and humorous stories, so I wanted to bring that to other children as well," she says.
Frankel, the author of two other books about Bennie's discoveries, "What are Mondays for, anyway?" and "What are bees good for, anyway?" has already earned advance editorial praise for "What is math good for, anyway?"
"What is math good for, anyway?" Is a gently humorous and easy-to-read exploration of practical math, perfect for classroom and especially reluctant mathematicians like Bennie.
