Amazon.com Review
Did you ever wake up to one of those days where everything is a problem? You have 10 things to do, but only 30 minutes till the bus leaves. Is there enough time? You have 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants -- can you make 1 good outfit? Don't worry -- it's just the Math Curse striking! An amusing book about dealing with numbers in everyday life.

5 out of 5 stars Math Curse   March 3, 2010
Angelica B. Obregon (Brownsville, TX USA)
When we are young we think that math is a big problem we must face. As we grow older we see that math is every where. It is great for math majors for it helps them see how their students will see the world once they understand math. Comical, realistic and very visual.


5 out of 5 stars Even Big Kids Love It   March 3, 2010
Waltzing Matilda (Nebo, NC)
This book was read to us at a training for math teachers...I had to have it for my Junior High students...they loved it!


5 out of 5 stars Hilarious   August 27, 2009
J. Donohue (NJ)
This book is hilarious and both my 4 and 6 year old boys ask for this book nightly. Even my 9 year old girl loves it. It caters to all ages really. I find myself laughing hysterically. A wonderful discussion of math mixed with humor. Usually we get our books from the library, but when we find a gem, we get it for the home library. This is one of those books.


4 out of 5 stars Anxious humor   July 2, 2009
Kathleen S. Kennedy (Colorado)
Readers will have little problem finding the anxious humor in this story at it explores the days events through math problems. The intensity of this tale builds with the use of dynamic illustrations that draw you ever deeper into the curse. An absolute word feast that may have some readers checking their dictionary. A calculated treat.


5 out of 5 stars Oh my!   March 22, 2009
Mary A. Sapp (Fredericksburg, VA)
A fun book my middle school students pull off the shelf! They enjoy the illustrations and the problems.
