The circus is about to begin, and every act brings a new surprise. Clowns, magicians, jugglers, dancers, and other performers take the stage in a lively spectacle where numbers become part of the show. As the audience follows the acts, cardinal numbers from one to twenty and ordinal numbers from first to tenth naturally weave their way into the narrative, transforming mathematical concepts into an exciting reading experience.
Written by Telma Guimarães, one of FTD Educação’s most widely translated authors, with more than 170 published titles, Numberdrome combines humor, rhythm, and playful storytelling to introduce young readers to numbers through a familiar and engaging setting. Rather than presenting mathematical concepts through direct instruction, the book encourages children to discover them organically as the circus performance unfolds.
Marcelo Cipis’s illustrations are central to the reading experience. Rich in visual details, they extend the circus atmosphere while introducing geometric shapes, patterns, sequences, and groups of objects that reinforce the book’s mathematical dimension. Text and image work together to stimulate observation, counting, and visual reasoning, rewarding attentive readers with new discoveries on every spread.
