    That whole generation of “Kids Learn Abstract Mathematics” books was great. Sideways Stories, A Wrinkle in Time, Flatland/Sphereland, hell even the Call of Cthulhu. Great reads on their own and chock full of high level concepts.

      Yeah. I might throw in Alice in Wonderland, White Light, and The Compleat Enchanter. (Not kids learning things in those last two, but the books definitely appealed to me when I was still pretty young.)
