Ha, and it's *really* attractively produced. DS-then-4 picked it up in a bookshop recently and was entranced, had to be torn away - so much so that he's getting it shortly, even though he obviously won't understand much of it yet. I had a lovely big maths book that I didn't understand much of from about the same age, and it was a good thing :-)
