We use this book as an adjunct to our grades4-5 math curriculum. Specifically, we use it as a challenge for our brighter students. The students love the puzzles in this book and it enhances their love for math.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book DOMINATES!!!, April 7, 1999

Perhaps the finest piece of literature ever written, this book teaches you how to add words and that pop quizzes don't exist. I'll explain. If it's a pop quiz, it can't be on Friday because the kids will know it's coming. Then it can't be Thursday, because if they know it's not on Friday and they haven't had it yet, they'll know it's coming. Eventually, the kids eliminate the possibilities of a pop quiz altogther. Fab!

I love incorporating words with math! It makes it fun and interesting. I am not big on math (nor am I very good at it), but when you incorporate language, it makes it fun. I really found this enjoyable! You do neet time, paper, and a darn good eraser, but this was a blast! It has the same kind of stories as the other Wayside books, but it incorporates math problems to go with it. (BOYS + GIRLS = SILLY) And it's your job to figure out number substitutes for the letters. It's a lot of fun to do, and improves math skills and language skills. It's a blast!
It's harder than the first one, be warned! But it's also more fun and entertaining. I always used it as like a rainy day project, and I plan to do the same with my daughter.
