Excerpt from the review by Dr. Barbara Nawolska:

“The book under review is a collection of mathematical fairy tales written by female preschool and early childhood education students and edited by Renata Raszka and Małgorzata Bortliczek. […] Mathematical textual tasks for young children are woven into the storyline of the fairy tales. The problems of the tasks concern, for example, measuring length (distances, perimeters of polygons), measuring time (clock and calendar time), and adding and subtracting numbers in cardinal aspects to determine the characters’ needs. […] By solving the tasks in the fairy tales, the pupil learns mathematics in passing and thus does not become stressed as is often the case with emotionally vulnerable children in a classroom environment”.
