    <body><![CDATA[As a lifelong math hater, this book makes me laugh out loud every time I read it.  &quot;Does tunafish + tunafish = fournafish?&quot;  BRILLIANT!  Thanks goodness I have a math whiz for a sister, though, who explained the Mrs. Fibonacci reference to me--otherwise I'd have gone thru life thinking she...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40499425">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A cute way to combine math and literacy and to get kids more interested in the everyday use of math.  I didn't like it as much as I liked <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14817.A_Scanner_Darkly_" title="A Scanner Darkly  by Philip K. Dick">Science Verse</a> but I still bought my own copy and plan to use it with my students!<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56396582">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A fun book about a boy who thinks his teacher has put a &quot;math curse&quot; on him. Everything around him becomes a math problem. This is a fun book that actually incorporates real math problems. This would be a great book to read certain sections to students (when a certain math concept comes up...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59775743">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love the books by this pair; they're quirky, funny, and a little dark.  This is another one of those books that I found at an older age but I think is great for all ages.  The story of a few days in a child's life through a series of math problems is a fun and silly way to look at math (all answer...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24018181">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a good book to get children interested in math problems(grades 3-5 probably). However the book is very lengthy and kind of overwhelming if read entirely at once. If it was broken down and the kids did some of the problems in class it would be more fun to read.]]></body>
