Monsters representing the prime numbers dance in this illustrated book about the factorization of the integers from 1 to 100. Schwartz handles this unlikely topic well with brightly colored, geometric digital illustrations and a minimum of text. A section introducing the concepts of prime and com...

The author has written a wonderfully illustrated book about the first 100 numbers and their characters (prime monsters). All you need to know is how to multiply whole numbers together (like 2 and 3), and this book will put you well on your way to understanding factor trees, primes and composites,...

I was really disappointed with this book. The number 1 was sad, the monsters were overly complicated and did not elegantly explain their value, and the combinations of prime monsters were confusing (either not well done or way-too-overly clever topologically) and did not elegantly explain anythin...

We got this book from the library and my son loved it so much that he insisted we get a copy for his math teacher. Each number from 1 to 100 is shown as a character. The composite numbers are made from their prime factor characters. This has made doing prime factors a fun activity.
