Talk:Sir Cumference

Notability

Anyone like it? I need to figure out the box thing on Radius first. I'll add more characters later—Preceding unsigned comment added by Flaminkight (talk • contribs)

Are there any reliable sources for this book, or did you make it up? - Tiswas^(t/c) 14:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Whaddayaknow, it's not made up - Needs refs, however - Tiswas^(t/c) 14:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

This Charlesbridge (Watertown MA) series illustrated by Wayne Geehan now comprises eight slim children's picture books. Geehan has illustrated other Charlesbridge picture books with math themes.

The only books written by Cindy Neuschwander and reviewed by Kirkus are four other math-story picture books with four different illustrators (and not from Charlesbridge).[1]

I have read three of the Sir Cumference series. The review of Mummy Math fairly conveys the nature of the enterprise, in my opinion. Except the first book about the Round Table for King Arthur --in which the "character" names Sir Cumference, Di Ameter, and Radius are grounded--

Probably the publisher Charlesbridge merits an article covering the range of things they have tried to do with high-quality picture books, with considerable success over two decades.

Previous use of the name

Sir Cumference was the name of a character in the 1946 Disney cartoon A Knight for a Day, in which he was a jousting opponent of Goofy (here named Cedric). There was also a character named Sir Loinsteak. Kostaki mou (talk) 22:03, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
