Still in chapter 2 involving mathematics I never knew that there were so many books with mathematical themes that existed. I love math and as I have gained in knowledge about mathematics I grew to love math even more. Though mathematics on the college level is mathematics like I have never known before, it is a discourse I have grown in and to say it again I love MATH!

The book is talking about

·         Money

·         Time

·         Volume

·         Weight

·         Graphing

·         Two more math resource books

The books that look interesting are

·         Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There is? By Robert E. Wells, Albert Whitman 1993 ISBN 0-0875-3656-3. This book shows how whales are big and that is where the fun begins as the book compares a whale to a mountain, a mountain to the earth and so on. I just have a fascination with whales so if a book has a whale on it I will most likely read it.

·         The Big Buck Adventure by Shelly Gill and Deborah Tobola, Charlesbridege 2000, ISBN 0-88106-294-4. This is an adventure of a little girl who just received a dollar for her allowance and tries to see what to spend her money on. Candy, Food, Toys, or maybe a pet she might spend her money on. The book ends with a space for children to place 4 quarters or 10 dimes, good for learning how to save.

·         G is for Googol:  A Math Alphabet Book by David Schwartz, Tricycle Press 1998, and ISBN 1-883672-58-9. This book is a dictionary of mathematic terms. Gives meaning to the words used in mathematics. Also gives a brief history of the mathematical term.

The next chapter 3 is about Science. This chapter gives books about

·         Spiders

·         Bats

·         Life science

The beginning of the chapter doesn’t have any books I really would want to read off the bat. No pun intended.
