The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdos

I bought this book for my 7 year old son who is loves math. I love how it talks about how Paul Erdos was absolutely amazing at math but couldn't butter his own bread. I think it is a good reminder for kids that no one is good at everything. I also liked that it used a lot of numbers and talks about prime numbers and negative numbers. My son thought it was really fun to learn about some of these math concepts he hasn't learned in school yet. Even thought this book contains math it is very much a story book, some math books that I looked at were more like a workbook but this is not. It has great colorful illustrations . It would be a great book for any child whether they like math or not but is especially fun for kids with a knack for math.

My grandchild loved the book

Our sons, 5 and 6, love it and talk a lot about prime numbers now! Beautiful illustrations, well written, warm story. Great for gifted children to make them feel less alone.

This is great. I'm happy it doesn't mention his drug use, that would have been an awkward conversation with my own little epsilon... But it's a great way to introduce brilliant minds to our future, and to help stop the fear of mathematics spreading.

Well written and inspiring to my kid
