"We want kids to feel about math the way they feel about dessert after dinner." ―Laura Overdeck, Time magazineOur mission: to make math a fun part of kids' everyday lives. When is the last time you gave your child a math problem just for fun? Yesterday? Last year? Maybe never? We all know it's wonderful to read bedtime stories to kids, but the question remains―what about doing math? Math has a negative association in our culture and many Americans are uncomfortable and even fearful of math and numbers. But Bedtime Math is here to change all that. In Bedtime Math 3, math and fun facts combine for one wacky and wild adventure! Now kids can discover the truth behind all their favorite things: marshmallows, Coca-Cola, astronaut ice cream, and more! These fun, mischief-making math problems aren't just kid-friendly, but actually, kid-appealing. With over 100 math problems on a variety of topics, kids will find math isn't just fun―it can be found everywhere! And with three different levels of challenge (Wee ones, Little kids, and Big kids), plus a Bonus question, there's something for everyone. We can make numbers fun―and change the world―one Bedtime Math problem at a time.

We have all three Bedtime Math books, and my kids love all of them. I find this one by far the most fun to read since each spread actually has interesting information that answers a question or debunks a myth. The nonfiction mini-essays are informative and entertaining. My main complaint with the first two books was the little essays really said nothing (like two paragraphs about how ketchup is red and would make a mess if you squirted it on someone or whatever). Much improvement on that front!My only criticism of this book is that there seems to be too great a spread between the first two levels of math problems and the second two. I have a four-year-old and a 7-year-old second grader, and my four-year-old can answer the "wee ones" and "little kids" questions, which are too easy for my second grader, but the "big kids" questions seem to be at an upper elementary level (3rd-5th grade maybe) and often involve multiplication, division, or other skills my 2nd grader hasn't learned yet, so there seems to be a 1st-2nd grade gap in the math problems.
Another hit for Laura Overdeck and the Bedtime Math team! We have been looking forward to the release of this book and have not been disappointed! It has been laughed over, fought over and thoroughly enjoyed by our whole family! Who knew math could be so much fun!
I’m joking of course; there’s no replacing Life of Fred but these books come close. Rarely do I pick out a book that my children beg to read. The 3rd in the Bedtime Math series is amazing. My children find some way to stay up later just to read at least 2 sections. Now the low-down on these books. They are math oriented but clever and fun. Each chapter is sub-divided. Each of those littler sections is 2 pages long. First part tells a funny, but true story of the topic and the second page has 4 age level questions. Wee One, Little Kids, Big Kids, and a Bonus! Their mission “to make math a fun part of kids' everyday lives” is very true!
Examples were quite good. Loved the "levels" of insights to be drawn from each example, for different age groups. They picked examples that were not standard, unrealistic stories--real world. And they demanded thought. Thoroughly enjoyed the book and the rest of series, used it with grandkids and ordered more for my son to share with his kids Highly recommend this series of books.
I am a third grade teacher and I can't say enough good things about this book. As an educator, I understand how important it is for children to be read to or read every night, the fact that this integrates real life math problems is amazing. I read one story to my class everyday after lunch and the kids love the interesting trivia they learn!
I love the stories, they're quite interesting. I think the different levels would be great if you're reading the book with two kids. I just read them with my 4 year old, and she can usually get the wee ones (usually counting our comparing numbers) and the little kids (usually adding/subtracting smaller numbers. I agree with another review that there's then a big jump in difficulty. The big kids and bonus questions involve bigger numbers (>20), and often algebra. I wish there were more very simple multiplying/dividing questions.
These books are fabulous! I have a 3 and 7 year old and they are begging me to read more everytime we read one.
My 6 year old LOVEs the series!! She treats "Bedtime Math" time with mommy like a prize, and her eyes light up whenever we pick the book up! Stories are wildly funny yet informative, and I really love the challenge questions in the two sequels(not in the 1st book). They are GREAT! Our only worry is we are going through the books too fast and would be left with a void once we finish all three!
