Numbers are fun, they are magical. This story is written to take away any fear a child may have of numbers. It takes you on a journey into the world of maths.In The Wonderland of Numbers is an interesting book by Shakuntala Devi. The author attempts to highlight a very important fact: it is the responsibility of the parents to help their children develop a liking for maths. She uses a fictional story to convey this message to her readers. The story is told of Neha, who is fearful of her new mathematics teacher and becomes paranoid of maths, as a result of this. This girl then meets with an accident and loses consciousness. While her loved ones wait for her to regain consciousness, she is transported to the kingdom of Zero, in her sub-conscious mind. Her adventures in this mystical land are described through the course of this book.
