Kari-Lynn Winters and Lori Sherritt-Fleming team up again for another poetry collection for young readers with the emphasis on math concepts including measuring time, patterns, counting, symmetry, numbers, shapes, estimating and more!
He was hungry for math, always ready to munch.
Math for his breakfast, math for his lunch.

He'd pig out on pie charts and bar graphs galore,
binge on skip-counting, and still ask for more.

Shapes — he discovered — were less filling fare.
He'd taste test a rhombus, sparing room for a square.

He'd devour the dollars atop his dessert,
then slurp on the coins he'd slopped on his shirt.

At night, in the dark, he'd gnaw on base ten,
toss back some clocks, and crunch numbers again.

      Twelve poems touch on different math skills and concepts including symmetry, patterns, shapes, skip-counting, and money. The collection is a bit of a mixed bag: catchy, onomatopoeic "Patterns Rock!" is a perfect springboard to a pattern lesson, but bumpy "A Treas-ARRH Rap" lacks a clear-cut answer for the guess-and-measure question it poses. Illustrations, sometimes overcrowded, are colorful and attention-grabbing. Glos.
