super challenging to read w/ lots of technical information on how kids learn math and the experiments to support her research. Once you make it past the dry stuff there are some amazing nuggets of useful information. I love the section on moral development as it relates to math! It has loads of game reccomendations and simple card games for kids to learn mathmatical concepts and logic skills.
