[Math] Number theory book recommendation.

book-recommendationelementary-number-theorynumber theoryreference-requestsoft-question

I'm currently trained in Algebra, Calculus and Statistics in high school level. Basically, I've no knowledge at all in number theory as this subject is not taken seriously in my country.

I was thinking to self-learning number theory by books. But the books I found in the internet are really hard and complicated for me as I've no number theory background at all.

Recently, I was asked by a 10 years old kid for a question which is related to number theory. I've no idea at all how to solve that, it was really embarrassed.

So can anyone recommend me some books for number theory which are suitable for me?

The greatest of all classical books on this subject is An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers, by G. H. Hardy and Edward M. Wright.
