Delightful! By the way, Erdos is pronounced "AIR-dish".
This book is about Paul Erdos life and what it looked like as a mathematician and how his passion for math led to a fun adventurous life.
There once was a boy named Paul who loved math. He spend days calculating, counting and thinking about numbers. His mom was a math teacher and he was placed in the care of a babysitter who had many rules. He taught himself to count really high to figure out how many days it would be until summer vacation.
