[ 2.0 stars ] "This book tries to be two things: a guide to interesting areas of mathematics, and a playful children's book involving a cutesy cat character Penrose. It fails on both counts because it doesn't tie them together. The cat is just a transparent attempt to grab children's interest, and this heavy-handed gimmick fails miserably.

The grades for whom the content is appropriate would probably find the stories unappealing. They didn't catch my interest either.
