Hip to be square by Jon Scieszka + Lane Smith

When Mrs. Fibonacci tells her students that “you can think of almost anything as a math problem” she puts math squarely into the everyday life of one spell-bound pupil. Nothing the girl does from getting dressed to eating dinner doesn’t somehow involve a maddening math concept. This clever book is mind opening and mind boggling. Adults love to read it too – for we are surrounded by numbers! The illustrations are detailed and fun and even the dedication page is done in an inventive mathematical way.
