The book also makes the point that math is everywhere, and in that way, it serves the purpose of perhaps removing math fear at an early age.īottom line is that this is simple a fun children’s book, by an author who usually writes humor for older kids. ![]() For example, “If mail + box = mailbox, does lipstick-stick = lip?” The whole children’s book is done tongue-in-cheek, to play with concepts, and not necessarily to come up with right answers.** Why read it, then? Some of the math content relates to logic problems, and those are always fun to chew on. It has silly ways to describe math problems, but they are intriguing nonetheless. But it grabs the attention of any young person, as there is so much to see in each page. This illustrated children’s book is wildly laid out, almost yelling at the reader. Everything I look at or think about has become a math problem.” Fibonacci has obviously put a math curse on me. By Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, published 1995 ![]()

He was already interested in the genre that would eventually make him famous, and enjoyed reading EC’s horror comics, but it was his experience of normal life that had the biggest influence on his work.Īccording to King’s mother, he came home one day after playing with friends and was “white as a sheet.” He didn’t say why but went into his room and curled up on his bed. He had an early interest in reading and writing, and soon started working on his brother’s newspaper Dave’s Rag, which would eventually get him into trouble at school. He had a religious upbringing, his mother being a Methodist. When he was two years old, his father “went to buy cigarettes” and left his mother to raise him and his brother David. ![]() Stephen Edwin King was born in Maine, in the US, in 1947.

Unlike Ishmael and Esau, who go on to father their own separate tribes, both Rachel and Leah and their respective handmaidens birth the tribes that make up one nation, the children of Yisrael, all united under the umbrella of Jacob. ![]() Rachel and Leah are unique among all of the stories in that they remain together in the same household married to the same man until Rachel dies tragically in childbirth. But in that story, Sarai as chief wife and mother of Isaac, is ultimately able to prevail by sending Hagar and her son away. Hagar and Sarai, in one of the previous stories, already reflect a complex interplay between two women grappling for primacy in the household of Abraham. Leah and Rachel are not the first female pair to find themselves in conflict. The book of Genesis is filled with the inherent tension built into sibling relationships, from Cain and Abel to Yitzhak and Ishmael and most importantly, Esau and Jacob, twins emerging from the same womb already locked in struggle from birth onward. ![]() NOTE!

He spreads out his mat, lies down…and in marches Piggie, hollering, “GERALD!” Gerald explodes from slumber in alarm.
