It's called Go Figure! and it's about math. It's just a couple pages per topic and things like shapes (dodecahedron, etc) are covered, Pi, the Golden Ratio, etc. It's a bit of math theory and is pretty neat. DS1 got it and is really enjoying it.

Looks cool. Added it to my wish list, it might make a good book for DS's birthday. Thanks.

DS1 has been reading it for 6 hours now. He keeps coming up with math facts and information to tell me. A HUGE hit for my math-geek son :).

Thanks for sharing! Will have to check that out for DS1.

DS1 has the Penrose books:

Fractals, Googols, and Other Mathematical Tales:

and The Number Devil

Which are all good too if your DS hasn't checked those out before. Thanks for the recommendation.
