Not surprisingly, I also have a few book suggestions of my own. The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure by Hans Magnus Enzensberger (I found this at our library, but Amazon has it as well as some software based on this book.) The Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat by Theoni Pappas Further Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat Catby Theoni Pappas Life of Fred math books by Stanley Schmidt http://www.stanleyschmidt.com/FredGauss/index2.html <strong><em>Professor Homunculus sez:</em></strong> Great suggestions, Mia. I've recommended <em>The Number Devil</em> and books by Theoni Pappas before. I wasn't familiar with the <em>Life of Fred</em> books until you mentioned them. I just checked them out online. They look interesting for the math. I like the non-traditional approach, but I must mention to my secular readership that there is an element of religious agenda that some may find off-putting (I do), although it doesn't seem heavy-handed.
