"One of King Arthur's knights attempts to design a table around
which all of the knights can sit. With his wife, Lady Di of Ameter,
and his son, Radius, Sir Cumference experiments with different
shapes. Finally, a fallen tree inspires a round table. Geehan's
illustrations, particularly the diagrams, help readers understand
the geometry. Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi, Sir
Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland, and Sir
Cumference and the Sword in the Cone provide similarly playful
introductions to additional topics."—School Library Journal
"Students already familiar with shape principles will get the most
out of this punny medieval story in which Sir Cumference, his wife
Lady Di of Ameter, and their son Radius try to help King Arthur
create the perfect table for his knights. Other Sir Cumference
titles deal with angles, the number Pi, and three dimensional
shapes."—Booklinks
