About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your child is beginning to ask 'why' about how the world is organized, or when they seem bored by rote arithmetic. This is not a traditional workbook: it is a visual journey designed to spark a sense of wonder about the logic underlying our daily lives. Mitsumasa Anno uses delicate, detailed illustrations to invite children into a collaborative thinking process rather than a testing environment. Through playful sequences involving Kriss and Kross, the book explores multiplication as 'magic machines,' the logic of sequences, and the precision of measurement. It is an ideal choice for children aged 6 to 12 who enjoy puzzles and art. By focusing on the 'how' and 'why' of mathematical thinking, the book fosters a deep sense of pride and curiosity, helping children see math as a creative tool for discovery rather than a series of chores.
