A Cloak For The Dreamer (Brainy Day Books)

Product #:	0590489879
Description:	In a fairy tale, when a man has three sons, one of them (usually the youngest) is bound to be a dreamer and Friedman's tale is no exception. The tailor's sons must make three cloaks for the Archduke, and while the older two make theirs of squares, rectangles, and triangles, Misha has tried to make his of circles. Misha has dreamt about going off into the world, and his father realizes that it's time for him to go; he'll never be a tailor. Before he leaves, his brothers join his father and cut the circles of his coat into hexagons, which they sew together to make a cloak. The mathematics is so seamlessly integrated into the story that you don't notice until the final "For Parents, Teachers, and Other Adults" that mathematical principles have been taught. --Judy Silverman
