Riddle-iculous Math

32 pp. | Whitman | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-4996-7 $$14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Regan Dunnick. This book's goofy poems, jokes, riddles, and puns all contain math terms or actual math problems (the solutions are given beneath in red), from the poem about Mr. and Ms. Sweet-za doing fractions with their pizza to a "four-tune teller" who predicts, "You will drop a (100--96)k at lunch today (fork)." The poems and humorous cartoon illustrations are lively, but the tiny font resembling dense handwriting is daunting.
