Sir Cumference and the First Round Table: A Math Adventure

32 pp. | Charlesbridge | March, 1999 | Trade ISBN 1-57091-160-6 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wayne Geehan. Fusing geometry with Arthurian legend, this tale describes the origin of the famous Round Table. After rectangular, square, diamond, and octagonal tables fail to please King Arthur and his knights, Sir Cumference, his wife Lady Di of Ameter, and their son Radius stumble upon a fallen tree, whose cross section yields the solution. Acrylic paintings capture the setting; simple, clear diagrams reinforce the math content.
