Anno's Math Games III

Mitsumasa Anno, winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for illustration, uses this third volume in his math series to take young readers from 'what's different?' visual puzzles all the way through bar graphs, tables, and geometric reasoning — with almost no text. The illustrations do all the teaching, and that's the point: math becomes something you discover through looking and playing rather than memorizing. Parents and teachers who sit alongside a child with this book will find it opens real conversations about patterns and logic. The caveat is that the text-light format can frustrate adults who want structured explanations to follow, and detailed critical reviews of this specific volume are hard to find. The series' strong reputation and its creator's credentials speak for what individual reviews don't. Best used as a shared read, not handed off solo.
