Kiss my Math is great! In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I want to get my niece copies of both books. Just wish it had been around when I was in school. Danica McKellar not only does a great job explaining concepts, she also encourages young women to excell.

My 6th grade daughter and I love to lay down and read this book like a novel. We laugh and learn about math topics. Her math comprehension has increased since purchasing this book. We now share little jokes about math subjects that help her remember during test. Imagine......Mom and daughter love to read a math book. That is priceless!!!!!

This book is for anyone, regardless of age or gender, who wants to learn math in an understandable - one could even say enjoyable - manner.

My 11 year old daughter is in 6th grade. Pre-algebra concepts are already being introduced. This book helps her see there is an application for these concepts and helps to find a different way of thinking on how to solve a problem. The teacher may explain it one way, but she can understand it explained another way. It's been a very long time for me and these concepts so it helps to refresh my memory as well. Very useful and user-friendly.
