Publisher Comments:

"Amoeba"

Don't ever tease a wee amoeba
By calling him a her amoeba.
And don't call her a him amoeba.
Or never he a she amoeba.
'Cause whether his or hers amoeba,
They too feel like you and meba.

What if a boring lesson about the food chain becomes a sing-aloud celebration about predators and prey? A twinkle-twinkle little star transforms into a twinkle-less, sunshine-eating-and rhyming Black Hole? What if amoebas, combustion, metamorphosis, viruses, the creation of the universe are all irresistible, laugh-out-loud poetry? Well, you're thinking in science verse, that's what. And if you can't stop the rhymes . . . the atomic joke is on you. Only the amazing talents of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, the team who created Math Curse, could make science so much fun.

Review:

"A beautifully designed book — intelligent, irreverent, inviting, and downright irresistible." Carolyn Phelan, Booklist (starred review)

Review:

"A fun read for kids from grade school to college and every science nut in your family." Children's Literature

Review:

"Fans of Scieszka and Smith will be in heaven, but the book will appeal to one and all." School Library Journal

Science verse allows a fun safe enviroment ,fully loaded humorously packed, read within the pages. That sets younsters up for some learning and rythmic fun. Quick study of many science concepts easier to remember.

I love this book. I just found out about it last month in reading class. When I was in elementary school, I used to take the book "Math Curse" out of the school library all the time. Ever since I was little and read that picture book I have developed and continue to enhance a love of literature. I do not possess either of these books but I am going to as soon as I can afford it. I hope that another book comes out for people to enjoy.
