Mathematickles! > Customer Review #1:
love this book!

Mathematickles tickled me! I love this book! Betsy Franco has artfully woven math and poetry together to take kids across the seasons in a thought-provoking way. These simple poems with complex ideas stretch the brain and create models for children to write their own poems. This book will appeal to kids of all ages and to teachers who love to get their students to think.

stave off alzheimers! and entertain kids as well

this book is superfun; one of its plusses (so to speak) is that it mainstreams some experimental ways of playing with and stretching the boundaries of what is considered poetry and what is considered arithmetic, by blending them and making different aspects of the brain work simultaneously. it makes you smarter to really contemplate these, though they may appear simple at first.

Mathematickles! > Customer Review #3:
combining words and + and x signs does not poetry make

Illustrations are great, poppingly bright and fun.
But what is it? Who is it for?
It wont hold childrens attention, and it cant
hold up in the classroom -- it isnt math, and it
isnt poetry. Certainly not poetry. A few thoughts, words,
and multiplication signs thrown together on the pages
doesnt make it a worthy read. It becomes rather boring
rather quickly with each page.
