Laura Overdeck

illustrated by Jim Paillot

We want kids to feel about math the way they feel about dessert after dinner." - Laura Overdeck, Time magazineOur mission: to make math a fun part of kids' everyday lives. In, Bedtime Math: This Time It's Personal, families will find fun, mischief-making math problems that kids can't wait to figure out. With over 100 math riddles on topics from pillow forts and and sneeze speeds to overfed pets and underwear, kids will find math isn't just fun, it can be found in their everyday lives. And with three different levels of challenge (Wee ones, Little kids, and Big kids), plus a brand-new Bonus question, there's something for everyone.
Just as we all love stories before bedtime, families will find math is equally as fun and engaging. Many generations - kids and parents included - have been intimidated by math, but Bedtime Math is here to change all. We can make numbers fun, and change the world, one Bedtime Math puzzle at a time.

Laura Overdeck has a BA in astrophysics from Princeton University and knows numbers. Since she enjoys them so much, she (along with her husband John) decided to give their three children math problems instead of bedtime stories, and BEDTIME MATH was born. Jim Paillot has contributed illustrations to many children's books, including the Bedtime Math series.
