Meet an invisible narrator who's not a fan of math, but a three-eyed purple alien in a flying saucer is here to change their mind. This extraterrestrial friend makes a compelling case for the importance of math in a humorous and engaging way.
Despite the narrator's initial reluctance, the alien showcases how math plays a vital role in areas like cooking, music, nature, and navigation. Slowly but surely, both the narrator and the reader start to realize the magic of math in things they already love.
Filled with vibrant and colorful illustrations, this book features two distinct lettering styles to differentiate between the narrator's thoughts and the alien's wisdom. While it may not surpass Barton's spider-themed hit, 'I'm Trying to Love Spiders,' this book offers plenty of opportunities for young readers to engage with the story and explore the fun side of math.
Ideal for early elementary students who may have reservations about math, Bethany Barton's characters show how math is not just numbers on a page but a real-world force present in activities they enjoy. Dive into the exciting world of math with this entertaining and educational read!
Bethany Barton, the creative mind behind the book, is not just an author and illustrator but a true advocate for finding joy in everyday life. With her passion for painting, laughter, and the occasional snowboarding adventure, Bethany brings a unique perspective to the world of children's literature. Join her on a math-filled journey that promises laughter, learning, and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of numbers.
