Plot
[edit]This book tells the story - in verse - of a student who, according to his teacher, hears "the poetry of science in everything".[1] Later, the art teacher says their art should be their life, similar to the last line of the preceding book Math Curse.
Poems
[edit]In the story, there are several humorous poems about science. They are poems fitted from famous works such as "The Raven", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".
CD
[edit]A promotional CD (total time 5:12) with Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith reading selections from the book was released by Viking some time shortly before publication of the book on September 27, 2004.
