Every child should have this!
This is one of my favorite children's books. I buy it for babies, toddlers, young kids, and their parents.No matter what age, there is something for you. A beautiful story, gorgeous illustrations, a glimpse of an old multicultural tale.Math! Kindness! A clever little girl!She's not a princess, and she doesn't need to marry a prince. Her kindness, compassion, love for her community and math skills will help her feed a starving community. math + kind girl = change the world

Exquisite
Gorgeous book! Magical illustrations. Fantastic story to help build understanding of doubling. Must have in all third grade and up classrooms.

Book was in perfect condition!
This book is a wonderfully illustrated story/fable about a “simple” village girl using the power of doubling to get enough rice from the king to feed all the people during a famine. I’m looking forward to using it in my Montessori classroom. But it is wonderful for any 6-9 year old. Whether they need inspiration to love numbers, or already do ;)

Timeless message!
Great book!!! Children ages 5-10 will love it, especially if you have math wizards in your house! Even as an adult I loved reading it, as it carries such a timeless message and great story, which is a rarity among children's books these days. Don't hesitate to buy it, it will become one of the favorite books in your home library. We also have another book by Demi "The empty pot", another great book to buy!

Refreshing Reading
I am a fan of "A Mighty Girl" and found this book through their listings and recommendations. I bought it for my granddaughter's fourth birthday because it is about an ordinary girl, not a princess. It is a wonderful folktale based on the importance of standing up for yourself and your community and being willing to do great things by taking a first step toward your convictions. The great math lesson is a bonus! The book is beautifully illustrated and of good quality. I look forward to reading it with my granddaughter for years to come.

Fantastic read / learning opportunity
Intermediate students love estimating and trying to figure out how many grains of rice will be given to the young girl at the end of the month. Makes for a great math lesson.

A simple story
My 6 year-old grandson didn't want to look at this book when he was first given it (perhaps because it has a girl on the front!), but once he'd read it and looked at the maths he was hooked. The illustrations are beautiful, and the maths interesting for inquiring young minds.
