Science Verse

Amoeba Style
Do not tease a wee amoeba / By calling him a her amoeba / And don’t call her a him amoeba / And never he a she amoeba. / ‘Cause whether his or hers amoeba, / They too feel like you and meba.

What if a boring lesson about the food chain becomes a sing-along about predators and prey? A twinkle-twinkle little star transforms into a twinkle-less, sunshine-eating-and rhyming Black Hole? What if amoebas, combustion, metamorphosis, viruses, the creation of the universe are all irresistible, laugh-out-loud poetry? Well, you’re thinking in science verse, that’s what. And if you can’t stop the rhymes … the atomic joke is on you. Only the amazing talents of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, the team who created Math Curse, could make science so much fun.
