Couverture / Jaquette

Is this poetry? Math? A brainteaser? Yes! It's all that and more. The poet J. Patrick Lewis has reimagined classic poems?such as Edgar Allan Poe's ?The Raven? and Langston Hughes's ?April Rain Song??and added a dash of math. Between the silly parodies and the wonderfully wacky art, kids will have so much fun figuring out the puzzles, they won't guess they're learning! Answers appear unobtrusively on each page, and engaging information about the original poets is included. Math games and concepts, poetry and poet biographies?it's all so cleverly put together. This funny book is a treat for fans of words and numbers alike.
