The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure (Ukrainian title: «Пан Числовий чорт») by Hans Magnus Enzensberger is a book for children and adults who struggle with maths. Robert hates dreams — in them he is swallowed by giant fish or slides down endless slides — and he hates maths almost as much, since only his teacher cares how long five bakers need to bake 88 pretzels. Then in a dream he meets the Number Devil, Teplotaxl.
Instead of frightening him, the old devil spends twelve nights explaining ordinary and “hopping” numbers, pulling turnips and other mathematical ideas in simple, entertaining language. With every dream Robert gets better at his school problems. A clever, playful way to show children that maths can be fun — a good gift for curious kids and for parents helping with homework.
