Playful math panic turned into clever fun

This is a brilliant pick for a child who thinks maths can feel overwhelming, because it turns that feeling into a joke and then makes solving problems feel surprisingly satisfying. The humour and lively illustrations keep everything light, while the hidden answers invite readers to join in rather than just watch. It feels like a silly, smart puzzle from start to finish.
