Kids will enjoy this amusing book on their own and it has many good math lessons. My kids particularly liked the Egg and Spoon Race (subtraction and addition as kids move forward and backward in the race) and The Spud Brothers (teaches even and odd), and Plenty of Pizza (fractions a la Mr. and Ms. Sweet-za eating and sharing pizza). We all liked the math jokes and short riddles thrown in on most pages as well. The art is lively and colorful. I liked the style of it--it's unusual and active. The book is well-organized and packed with info, but not too busy. An excellent math choice for about ages 7-10 or so. (I'm 36, and I enjoyed it too!)

I like math because Im in the girls only math class. no boys hahahah!!!! My mom got Riddle-iculous Math so I showed my teacher and she showed my whole class. It was so cool and this book is cool. I likeit because I like the riddles and becasue you learn.

I am using this book in my 5th grade math classes. Math doesn't have to be boring. This book encourages some basic computation and problem solving by way of riddles. There are a few jokes--knock, knock jokes and other grade school appropriate styles. (What's a math teacher's favorite season? Sum-mer.) The illustrations will definitely entertain. No heavy learning here, just a quick, fun way to get in some more practice.
