Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Leo teaches his cat Pallas all about circles by applying his knowledge of geometry to their Stone Age world. Engaging illustrations and stories provide a fun introduction to math concepts, including tangents, ellipses, and more. Information boxes accompany each story to explore real applications of circles in the natural and designed world.

Includes bibliographical references (page 31) and index.
