Have you read the book "Flatland" or "Flatlands" (don't know the autor)? It's a whimsical look at what our world would be like if everything we know is in two dimensions. Caitlin--this is a verrrrrrrry short book and would be great for outside reading in any class. If you've a bent for philosophy, creativity, imagination and just "thinking outside the box," you would enjoy this one. You might even have a kinder opinion of mathematics. ;-) And if you like this one, check out the original Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" (Alice in Wonderland).
