John Conway's On Numbers and Games has a great overview of infinities. And since it's about games it'll be great for teaching kids too!

- OscarCunningham 8y agoI think Conway and Guy's "The Book of Numbers" might be a better source. It's more focused on infinities as different types of number, and certainly at a more suitable level. ONAG is quite a technical book; children don't really need to know that the surreals are the universally embedding real-closed field.
- yiyus 8y agoAnother book I really liked that talks about infinity is "A Certain Ambiguity", by Gaurav Suri and Hartosh Singh Bal.
