Description: New in New jacket. Item is brand new from publisher overstock. Hardcover with dust jacket. From Publishers Weekly: Newbery Honor author Lasky (Sugaring Time) deserves high marks for her attempt to present formal mathematical concepts in a picture-book format. The result, however, is a somewhat uneven amalgam of fable, history and science that struggles to find an appropriate age group. She tells the story of Eratosthenes, the ancient Greek librarian who figured out how to calculate the ... read more

"Great historical science book for ages 6 and above. It is a picture book, but covers a lot of information without being *too* text heavy on any one page. The story of Eratosthenes is interesting and his curiosity is very inspirational. My son was absolutely riveted by this book, but he is really into anything mathematical. If your child likes math concepts, this is a great narrative which features higher level math in an interesting and unintimidating way."
"All three of us really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading it again. We learned a great deal from this tome -- such as Aristophanes was the creator (or at least credited with) of punctuation and grammar. The kids enjoyed learning about the mathematics employed in measuring the Earth and how accurate Eratostenes was with his final measurement. There was so much that I truly enjoyed about the book ... I sure I'll be re-reading it soon."
