For fans of the Sir Cumference series with coordinate geometry on their mind, here is the seventh installment in this fun look at math and language. While riding through the forests of Angleland, cousins Per and Radius realize they are lost and are desperate for a map to guide them home. Soon they come across a mysterious house in the hills. Inside they find a map to a treasure belonging to Xaxon Yellowbearyd, the fiercest Viking warrior of his time. Per and Radius must decode the strange numbered grid on the map, while trying to steer clear of the pack of bungling bandits who are on their tail. Will they find the treasure in time? Cindy Neuschwander delivers yet another intriguing math adventure featuring the well-known characters of Angleland. Readers will enjoy following Per and Radius in their quest while learning how coordinate geometry relates to everyday life. Wayne Geehan’s beautiful illustrations offer a bit of comic relief, while also clearly demonstrating the concepts explored in the story. Review: My boys love these books! - Both of my sons have enjoyed the Sir Cumference books. The stories are entertaining and they introduce various topics in math: shapes, angles, geometry, measurement, multiplication, patterning and place value. The Viking's Map follows the adventures of Per and Radius as they try to decode Xaxon Yellowbearyd's map to find the treasure. Chased by bandits, they struggle to understand the grid locations on their map. A fun introduction to graphing, the story makes learning fun. Review: Creative and Fun! - My 5 year old grandson loves these books. Creative use of words for math terms even makes them fun to read to him for this 'math phobic' grandma. The stories are cute and he doesn't realize it yet but he'll be hearing those math terms later in school. The author had a very good idea here.

good series for my 8yo
The Sir Cumference books are great for kids interested in math. My 8yo son, who loves math, devours these, though my 8yo daughter who is not interested in math, finds these uninteresting as well. But they teach concepts in a really great, fun way.

Fun with math
My students loved this book. They wanted to go through it again and again looking for math references. Colleagues from other schools have asked to borrow it for their classrooms.

Felt stiff, not enjoyable to read
I love to use living books for homeschooling my kids, and was excited to try out the Sir Cumference series with our unit study on the Vikings. What a dud! There are so many fantastic, well-written books for kids that engage and teach. This one left us all underwhelmed. The characters and "adventure" are dull, the dialogue is below even Jack and Annie level... even my 7 year old was unimpressed. We'll keep looking.

Disappointed
This book came with most of the pages stuck together. When I tried to pull them apart gently it ripped the pages. Very disappointed in this.
