Math Curse, by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith is an intense story about a math curse, obviously. This student wakes up one morning and because of the math lesson the day before realizes that everything can be a math problem. He goes through the entire day thinking of everything as a math problem and starts to go crazy. This book is full of color and energy. I really enjoyed reading it! I really like math and I think that this story would be good to read to a classroom more at the beginning of the school year but could really be read anytime before a math lesson. I think this story is a fun way to show that many things we use and see everyday can be put into a math problem but it doesn't have to take over our minds!...because, as it says on the last page, "YOU KNOW, you can think of almost everything as a science experiment..." Inside the cover and the back cover are bright orange like the front cover with many different math problems written all over them in different ways. I really like this I think it brings out and shows how crazy the story is. =)
