Overview
This rhyming children's picture book enables young readers to see the patterns and structures in numbers and shapes through the magical world of Numberland; a land where numbers come to life and have their own houses and gardens! The story and pictures inspire us to find mathematics in the world around us: Number Four has 4 braids in her hair and 4 flowers in her square garden... Why? And what else can you find? The concept of Numberland was first conceived in 2004 from research into children's mathematical development by Dr Gerhard Friedrich of Germany.

Reviews
"Enchanting, entertaining, and engaging! MY GARDEN IS A SQUARE is a ""math-for-all"" delightful tale of ""Numberland's"" fundamental and essential entities. The numbers come alive via this visually-appealing story's multiple representations. The book also poses good questions that organically provoke mathematical thought in children. A must-have early years book! -Jaspreet Sethi, Founder ""Math with a Smile,"" India An easy way to introduce children to the world of numbers and patterns. Bright and easy to follow, I'd highly recommend this book to help young children to start noticing numbers around them and to engage in all the patterns that can be seen. -Debbie Kemish, Retired Director of International School in Australia"
