"Kids, young and old, fall in love with math when they see how
real-life and effortless it becomes thanks to these books." --Kimberly

Captain Invicible and the Space Shapes is perfect for teaching
3-dimensional shapes to first, second, and third graders. Captain
Invincible and his space-dog, Comet, are on a perilous journey back to
Earth! Throughout their mission, the fearless captain and his canine
sidekick encounter asteroids, poisonous gas, and alien beings. But will
their knowledge of three-dimensional shapes, including cubes, cones, and
pyramids, help our heroes navigate past these obstacles--and make it
safely home?
Kids will love the story and the illustrations by Remy Simard. Parents
and educators will love how the story and pictures make understanding

works. The book contains activities for adults to do with kids to extend
math into their own lives. Math = Fun!
