SUMMARY

In this news, the publication of a book is announced, Pinocchio in the Wood of Flat Figures, which is the first volume of the collection The Mathematical Adventures of Pinocchio, aimed at children aged 5 to 11. This collection aims to link mathematics with children's literature and illustration, three important areas in children's development. This volume is dedicated to plane geometry, in particular geometric figures, which are presented through the shapes of leaves in a special forest that is visited by characters who are also special: the queen of the forest and Pinocchio. Through two new adventures, followed by mathematical challenges, readers or listeners are led to explore mathematics in an original way.
