Book Nook - Charts for Babies and Am I Overthinking This?

I'm a math teacher and I love it when people make math more mainstream. Charts and graphics are a great way to do that - and they can be introduced at any age. Young kids can start to understand visuals that make sense of the world around them, and there are plenty of places to find humorous pie charts and graphs that can entertain even the most math-phobic adults.

I recently had the chance to review a copy of Charts for Babies, a book I enjoyed so much that I had to check out the author's other chart-based work, Am I Overthinking This?

Both books are enjoyable reads. Charts for babies introduces young kids to the idea that visual aids can make sense of the world around us, and sometimes a picture really does say a thousand words. For slightly older kids, the charts can be a great jumping-off point into fun, low-pressure discussions about how we view the world.

The illustrations are engaging and clear, with a charming hand-drawn style that is whimsical and fun. Whether or not you like math, I encourage you to check out both books!
