Celebrated for its engaging narrative and rich visuals, this book has earned top honors and is available in multiple languages, making it a must-have for young learners and educators eager to inspire a fresh appreciation for math and nature. ## Description Breaking News: In April 2015 Blockhead was named a Mathical Honor Book. As a young boy in medieval Italy, Leonardo Fibonacci thought about numbers day and night. He was such a daydreamer that people called him a blockhead. When Leonardo grew up and traveled the world, he was inspired by the numbers used in different countries. Then he realized that many things in nature, from the number of petals on a flower to the spiral of a nautilus shell, seem to follow a certain pattern. The boy who was once teased for being a blockhead had discovered what came to be known as the Fibonacci Sequence! Blockhead is a 2011 Bank Street College -- Best Children's Book of the Year. Blockhead has been translated into Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Catalan. Be sure to check for those editions of this title, if appropriate for your classroom! Review: Prepare to be amazed - This is a fun book to introduce Fibonacci (Leonardo Pisano). It is a must have for Artists, Biologists, Mathematicians, Architects, Physicists, Astronomers, heck you can connect Fibonacci numbers to almost everything. The book is written in first person voice so it helps the reader relate to this remarkable renaissance hero. The illustrations are superb. There are hidden sequences, spirals, and symbols to find throughout the book. Best of all, this book encourages readers to see our world in a totally new perspective. Thanks Mr. D'Agnese and Mr. O'Brien! Review: Fall in love with math at an early age - I bought "Blockhead" for my grandson who was eight years old at the time. I bought another copy for my granddaughter who is seven. Both of them love math. This is a beautifully illustrated book about "medieval Europe's greatest mathematician." I have my own copy of the book, and I look at it and read it often. I can't get over how gorgeous the illustrations are and how much there is to see in the pictures. Good companion books are "Swirl by Swirl: Spirals in Nature" by Joyce Sidman and "The Rabbit Problem" by Emily Gravett. I highly recommend the "Bedtime Math" books for children. My grandchildren also love those. Children answer the questions by thinking about them instead of using paper and pencil. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #112,911 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #149 in Children's Science & Technology Biographies #760 in Children's Math Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 246 Reviews | ## Images ![Blockhead: The Life of Fibonacci - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cBsJl0iVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prepare to be amazed *by M***A on February 13, 2012* This is a fun book to introduce Fibonacci (Leonardo Pisano).

But here goes: I really enjoyed the book. The story of Fibonacci starts in his childhood and explains that his peers and the adults in his life didn't understand him because he was always counting things and looking for patterns in nature around Pisa. The illustrations aptly show his life and times and illuminate concepts in the book, even the rabbits. This book is an entertaining vehicle to introduce a young person in your life to mathematics. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blockhead: The Life of Fibonacci - Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature - Wild Fibonacci: Nature's Secret Code Revealed --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/8541406-blockhead-the-life-of-fibonacci](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/8541406-blockhead-the-life-of-fibonacci) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
