Both educational and entertaining, this book features poems that introduce students to scientific concepts and principles. When a boy in Mr. Newton's science class becomes cursed with the "science verse," he hears everything as a science poem. Many different concepts, such as the water cycle and the food chain, are expressed through funny rhymes.
The illustrations are eye-catching and supportive to the poems meaning.
This book would compliment any science lesson that is mentioned in the poems. Also, readers can compare some of the original poems to the adaptions in this story.
