Frankie Pickle and the Mathematical Menace by Eric Wight
5.0
Frankie Pickle and the Mathematical Menace made me wish I had a little first or second grader who was struggling with math. Wight makes math fun and enjoyable by pointing out all the little ways we use math in day to day life.
I loved Wight's use of both prose with illustrations and cartoon strip formatting which he volleys back and forth between. It seemed brilliant that Wight used the comic strip form to illustrate the adventures Frankie takes in his imagination because often times people do think of themselves in a manner resembling cartoon strips or shows.
I would absolutely suggest this book to any parent or teacher who has a child struggling with math. If you can point out all the ways they already use math without thinking of it as a test, I believe they're more likely to realize how their own skills and potential
