Mathimals - Softcover

Artist. Musician. Brewer. Designer. Footballer. Author. 
These are all things that Jon has dreamed of being paid to do at some point in his life (with varying degrees of connection to reality).  
During his time as a kindergarten teacher, Jon loved reading stories to his students and found it fascinating to see which ones they connected with above all others.
He dreamed of crafting THOSE stories. The ones that kids picked up first every time. The ones they bugged their teachers / parents / caregivers to read to them over and over again. The ones that adults didn't mind reading one hundred times because they enjoyed the wordplay or loved the illustrations. The ones that contained positive, inclusive messages that didn't get in the way of the pure enjoyment of reading. 
It's early days but Jon hopes he's on the right path to that goal. In any case, it's becoming increasing unlikely he's going to be called to play up front for England.

"This quirky book is engaging, entertaining and full of humour...perfect for anyone who finds maths a bit of a struggle but it would be equally as readable for children who enjoy maths too!" - Bitsy Bookworms

"...although Mathimals is a maths book, there is so much that can be used to teach English and stimulate vocabulary and the joy of reading for young children...I think Mathimals is a cracking book for children and recommend it completely." - Linda's Book Bag

"With a touch of zany fun, this book dives into math in a way which demands giggles from every page. This picture book has two goals: math and silly fun. The lesson is basic addition, but this isn't a math book as one might expect. It's a picture book with bright illustrations and a rhyming story which is pure fun even if the math is ignored." - Bookworm For Kids
