West Caldwell, NJ – November 2006: Conceptual Product Development, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of Doctor Walt’s Math Magic Book One, written by Walter Silva, author of over 60 technical books. This dramatic color book, presents math in a friendly style for children and parents alike. Fast Bound, 8 ½ X 11 Format, 194 pages, $24.95.

Doctor Walt’s Math Magic Book One provides a stepping stone into the world of math for children in grades four to seven. Walter Silva provides vibrant full-color illustrations and detailed explanations for topics such as fractions, number lines, basic geometry and a multitude of word problems. This math book functions both as a resource for challenging homework problems and as a stand-alone course in elementary math. The book presents the tools and solutions which prepare children to understand concepts and ideas that enable them to take their knowledge and apply it in their own lives.

Walter Silva was inspired to write this book after seeing friends struggle with helping their children with homework. “Many parents and children are afraid of math, and there’s no reason to be,” he says. “Math should be simple. I wrote this book to take the mystery out of math.”

Walter Silva is uniquely situated as a children’s author. Best known for his technical books on CAD software, he decided to take on this new endeavor after the positive response for his CAD for Kids program and accompanying book. Walt realized after working with children of various ages that it is extremely important to generate a love for math and greater math performance at an early age. For the past ten years, Silva has been increasing his involvement in the world of children. He appeared as a guest speaker at the New Jersey Association for Gifted Children in 2004, and has also presented CAD for Kids to children at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He also was a participant in the Institute of Children’s Literature.

Doctor Walt’s Discovery Books is the second of three new children’s series written and created by Walter Silva. Silva blends his thirty-five years of technical and writing experience with an understanding of the way children learn, resulting in stimulating instructional books. A unified edition of CAD for Kids and its library, the next two books in the Adventure Stories, a Discovery Book on computer graphics, and Doctor Walt’s Bedtime Stories will all be released in the coming months.
