As far as I know, this os the only other childrens book by Norton Juster other than our family favorite 'The Phantom Toll Booth.' It's very very short and sweet and a fine intro to fundamental mathematics that's a mix of mostly art and Juster's purple prose. This book is a rare keeper!

A very memorable fable - which, as a good fable should, reflects life nicely.

The anguished story of a straight line who falls in love with a dot and how they live together, or can they? 3 people who know I love math have given me this book, so I'm keeping one!
