Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Arithme-Tickle: An Even Number of Odd Riddle-Rhymes by J. Patrick Lewis, illus. by Frank Remkiewicz, offers a host of clever math riddles with titles like "Finger Play" (which teaches a nifty trick for multiplying by nine) and "Your Average Cow," which asks kids to compare bovine and human life expectancies. Answers appear (upside-down) below each entry. Humorous cartoons multiply the fun.

From School Library Journal
Grades 3-4--A new book by a wordplay master always adds up to fun. Arithme-Tickle brings to math puzzles and queries the same rhythmic zest Lewis's Riddle-Icious (Knopf, 1996) brought to verbal riddles. Remkiewicz's bright, energetic watercolor-and-pencil illustrations amplify the humor in each challenge (a riotous tropical scene accompanies "How Many Coconuts?"-"How many palm trees swaying in the breeze?/How many hives for the bumblebees?/How many warthogs in a quartet?/How many apes eating apes suzette?"). Answers are thoughtfully provided at the end of each poem. A book to enjoy "If you are most particular,/Curved, straight, or perpendicular/(That is, arithme-ticular!)."-Kathleen Whalin, York Public Library, ME

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharpen Your Pencil....., September 10, 2002
Math is fun, loads of fun, in this delightful collection of eighteen rhyming riddles. J Patrick Lewis challenges kids to sharpen their pencils and use their brains to solve these clever word puzzles. With a little addition here, some subtraction there, or maybe multiplication, and division you'll find the answer in no time. Frank Remkiewicz's bold, bright, and charming illustrations add to the fun. With an answer key provided at the bottom of each page, explaining how each brain-teaser was solved, Arithme-Tickle is a zany romp that's perfect for young math whizzes 8 and older. So join in all the fun, and let the games begin!
