About the author

Cindy Neuschwander

Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi teaches a mathematical constant through a joke that runs the length of the book: the knight's son Radius has to work out the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter in order to mix an antidote and turn his father back from a dragon.
