  Mary Everest Boole (1832-1916) was born Mary Everest in England and spent her early years in France. She married mathematician George Boole. She was the author of several works on teaching and teaching mathematics in particular.This short book, Philosophy and Fun of Algebra, is meant to be read by children and introduces algebra and logic. She uses the word “algebra” broadly, defining it as a “method of solving problems by honest confession of one’s ignorance”. Using this definition, Boole introduces, in a conversational manner, the concepts of logic and algebra, illustrating these concepts with stories and anecdotes, often from biblical sources. At times, her discussion seems somewhat mystical, speaking of the imagination and angels as messengers which guide one toward the next step in a logical investigation. Boole ends the book with a reminder that algebra’s essential element is “the habitual registration of the exact limits of one’s knowledge” and a call for the public to keep this principle in mind when encountering any situation.(Summary written by Patricia Oakley)

  This beautiful book for little girls was made up by a little girl. The 5-year-old genius claims to be a “unicorn expert” and gave her dad the entire outline for a short-read that will melt your heart. 
  The story is about Princess Snow, a 5-year-old girl (go figure) who lives with her parents in a gorgeous palace. One day, she meets an ice unicorn. She plays with the elegant animal and flies on its back to a magical place called Unicorn Iceland, where more ice unicorns live. There, she plays on slides, eats healthy ice cream, and does whatever a girl that age does. 
  However, halfway her adventure, a group of dark unicorns appear and try to destroy the precious snowy lands where they reside. Together with her friend, Prince Frost, the princess uses superpowers to turn the dark unicorns into light, nice ones.
