SUMMARY
This news item announces the publication of a book, Pinocchio in the City of Solids, which is the second volume of the collection The Mathematical Adventures of Pinocchio, aimed at children aged 5 to 11. This collection aims to interconnect mathematics with children's literature and illustration, three important areas in children's development. This volume is dedicated to spatial geometry, in particular to geometric solids, which are presented through the shapes of the buildings in a special city, the City of Solids. As in the first volume of the collection, two new adventures followed by mathematical challenges lead readers or listeners to explore mathematics in an original way.
