Edgar Allan Poe's Pie: Math Puzzlers in Classic Poems

What a fabulous book! Even the Enginerd loves it. As a matter of fact, he is taking it to work to show his co-workers (Engineers!). After I read the book, I called my dad and read selections to him over the phone. This is really fun. Each page has a poem in the tone of a classic poet's verse, but they are math riddles. The opposing page has the answer in tiny print upside down on the bottom - some stumped even us if we weren't paying enough attention.

Funny, fun, definitely quirky and educational. In the back of the book there is a glossary of these great classic poets with a caricature and mini biography. This is definitely going on my shelf to bring back out for fun often, but also for poetry study in our homeschool days.

Thanks to HMH for providing a copy for review.
