After reading The Man Who Loved Only Numbers: The Story of Paul Erdős and the Search for Mathematical Truth this summer, I came across a fantastic children’s book about Paul Erdős.  The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdős by Deborah Heiligman with pictures by LeUyen Pham is an excellent introduction to the man who is well-known for his collaboration in mathematics.  Below is a photo of the cover and my favorite illustration in the book:

   

Below is a short clip from N is a Number, which is a fantastic glimpse of Paul Erdős and his life of collaboration in mathematics:
