**Twenty-nine playful poems from the maven of math poetry +
ingenious high-concept art = countless hours of mind-blowing,
mathematical fun.
**
Award-winning author Betsy Franco is back with another pitch-perfect
performance that explores a range of math topics--from fractions and
time measurements to geometry and graphs--in a way that relates math to
the daily lives of children. Even the most mathematically disinclined
will warm to these innovative poems, illustrated with game-changing wit
and whimsy by Priscilla Tey, whose clever mechanical "Numbots" guide
readers through a surreal playground of calculated delights. From
multiplying mice to missing socks, from stinky scales to bug races, this
collection of imaginative verse subtracts the mystery, fear, and
loathing from mathematics, making it engrossing and fun for all.
