Book List: Picture Books about Mathematics

March 14th is International Pi Day. The date can be written as 3.14, which matches the most basic numerical value for pi (π). Picture books that feature numbers and counting abound, but International Pi Day seems like the perfect time to put together a list of picture books that offer slightly more complex mathematical concepts for young minds.
