Third book in the series follows Bennie and
his adventures as he learns important life lessons
NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time
for the back-to-school season, a new children's book showcases the
importance of learning math. "What is math good for, anyway?" by
Nicole Frankel, is a delightful
story of a young boy named Bennie who despises math, yet much to
his (begrudging) surprise, he discovers the many ways math can be
useful in everyday life.
Bennie dreads math class. He finds learning math boring, numbers
confusing, and problems frustrating. But one day, an unexpected
discovery changes everything. As Bennie navigates through daily
activities—eating lunch in the cafeteria, playing on the
playground, and even visiting his favorite ice cream shop—he begins
to see how math is woven into every aspect of life.
With charming illustrations by Firman Putra and an engaging
narrative, "What is math good, anyway?" shows readers that math
isn't just about numbers on a page - it's a useful tool that can
help them solve real-world problems, make smart decisions, and yes,
even have fun.
Perfect for young readers, ages 3-8, the book uses humor and a
bit of silliness to bring home the story's point. Frankel explains
that she began writing books to explain things to her own children.
"My kids learn valuable lessons best through light and humorous
stories, so I wanted to bring that to other children as well," she
says.
Frankel, the author of two other books about Bennie's
discoveries, "What are Mondays for, anyway?" and "What are bees
good for, anyway?" has already earned advance editorial praise for
"What is math good for, anyway?"
"What is math good for, anyway?" Is a gently humorous and
easy-to-read exploration of practical math, perfect for classroom
and especially reluctant mathematicians like Bennie.
