This book is a unique teaching tool that takes math lovers on a
journey designed to motivate kids (and kids at heart) to learn the fun
of factoring and prime numbers. This volume visually explores the
concepts of factoring and the role of prime and composite numbers. The
playful and colorful monsters are designed to give children (and even
older audiences) an intuitive understanding of the building blocks of
numbers and the basics of multiplication. The introduction and
appendices can also help adult readers answer questions about
factoring from their young audience. The artwork is crisp and creative
and the colors are bright and engaging, making this volume a welcome
deviation from standard math texts.
Any person, regardless of age, can profit from reading this
book. Readers will find themselves returning to its pages for a very
long time, continually learning from and getting to know the monsters
as their knowledge expands. You Can Count on Monsters is a magnificent
