The Number Devil

This is a very useful book, especially to those who are afraid of math. With a very simple story of a boy who is suffering from arithmophobia (some term I coined for "fear of math"), who is able to make friends with Math Devil and crosses through several hurdles in learning that numbers can be his friends, rather than dangerous entities!

It's one of my favourite and I can read it as many times to know what love and hate for maths is like

The best book for kids or adults to learn maths. You can also learn ‘Raise to the power’.

Nice

Bought for a six year old, as bedtime reading. Three years later, he still re-reads it several times a year and takes it everywhere. It has inspired a love of mathematics in him, and he has become quite the young recreational mathematician.The renamed concepts and words made it easier for him to digest the story first as a work of fiction then, as he re-read it, as an introduction to the fun bits in maths. Wish there were more books like this.

This book is amazing for kids who have a real natural interest in maths and want to consolidate their number understanding.I'm a primary teacher and bought this for my library and most of the kids love the storyline and have enjoyed learning through it, and have asked lots of brilliant questions to further their understanding!

It was for my Grandson who is a bit of a maths wizard. A book full of very useful information that I wish I had when I was at school.

Great product.

This is very engaging book. My 8 year enjoys reading it. The author has done a good job of bringing various mathematical concepts together in an easily understood and memorable manner for the younger reader.
