With such a colorful cover, I was dismayed when I opened to find this to be a one-color printing... in purple. For elementary school libraries that makes it more affordable to share it with children.
This book is a wonderful collection of brief introductions to various well known visual math...
| Author | Lucy M. Boston |
| ISBN | 0152055665 |
A beautifully realized finish to a great series. I don't do many "series," but Boston's writing is so evocative of a time and place, the feelings of comfort and serenity she conjures become addictive.
