"He didn‘t just love math. He lived math."

Great for sparking an interest in mathematics, this book can encourage students to explore math in creative ways, like solving fun puzzles or creating their own math problems.

This biography introduces young readers to Paul Erdős, a Hungarian mathematician known for his eccentric life and groundbreaking work in mathematics. The book creatively captures his love of numbers and math.

“Because Paul Erdos was a genus-and he shared his brain. He helped people with their math problems and gave them more problems to do. Plus, he was a math matchmaker.
He introduced mathematicians all over the world to one another so they could work together”

I love how this book engages readers through the intricate storytelling and vivid illustrations. The author really makes this story an enjoyable and informative read for anyone curious about the life of a mathematical genius.

This book is a biography that dives into the extraordinary life of the renowned mathematician Paul Erdos. The book captures Erdos's passion for numbers and the unique way he approached math. This book does a great job of exploring his brilliant mind and his unconventional, nomadic lifestyle in the world of math.

#RedRoseSeptember Day 7: It was clear from the story how highly-esteemed Paul Erdos was in #mathematics circles such that friends refer to the Erdos number to talk about their points of connection with him. A fascinating picturebook biography about a man who loved #Mathematics. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-8zm

"Erdos realized that he doesnt quite fit into the world the regular way"

I think children will be interested in the animation of the pictures and how Paul Erdos runs between the pages.

I think this book would truly grab children's attention because they probably have never heard of somebody like Paul Erdos. Children will find his intellect astonishing but his common sense sort of humorous. Children will love to read how fast he can commute numbers in his brain but then was not able to butter bread until he was twenty. Fun facts in a fun way!
