Lively word problems are leveled for "wee ones," "little kids," and "big kids," with additional "bonus" challenges. The wording of questions is occasionally awkward, and the topics are quite the hodgepodge. That said, Overdeck's third Bedtime Math book, like the others, does the trick: it makes math fun. Cartoonlike illustrations, answers, and problem-solving details are included.
