For this assignment I chose to review The Boy Who Loved Math written by Deborah Heiligman and illustrated by LeUyen Pham. This book was published by Roaring Brook Press in June of 2013. This book is a biography of Paul Erdos, a boy that really likes math. This book talks about Paul’s life, and how he had a hard time being told what to do, and paying attention in school. Even though Paul did not like school at a young age, in high school, Paul changed his mind, and really enjoyed school.

Overall this book is very well illustrated and a very well written picture book biography. This book is clearly intended for young children with heavily illustrated
