I didn't
hate this book, but was definitely bored. Almost immediately. However, I can see
how others will enjoy this book; even my 8 year old son said he did. Maybe this
is a book I should have read versus listened to. There is, however, a great quality to this
book - C.O.R.E. teaching tool. It's an
adventure with two boys seeking a great big bear and the answer to the big
question of the mathematical solution of PI. I felt it focused mostly of
discovering PI. Therefore, I believe this would be a fabulous book to teach in
middle schools. It ties history, mathematics and reading together. Navigating Early would be a great
alternative to the same old boring novels our parents used to read in school. I recommend reading the author's note first.
