The Professor Googol Flying Time Machine and Atomic Space Capsule Math Primer (L, S), Sam Valenza, Jr. Westmont, N. J.: Intergalactic Publishing, 1973, vi + 144 pp.

This little paperback is a cartoon development of numbers from the counting numbers through the "real numbers corporation." The book is in nine chapters, one of which is devoted to "two special characters - Zero and One. The presentation throughout is thorough and entertaining. There is a good deal of concealed drill, of hammering home the meanings of numbers and of order.

I believe that every middle, junior high, and senior high school teacher who has students who resist learning mathematics should have a copy of this book available to students. Incidentally, read it yourself; there is a wealth of ideas for teaching numbers and order.‑MUNRO.
