Reviews:
School Library Journal: "…a wild and crazy homage to the story problem is well-treated here…(it) pokes fun at math, while pointing out how much it impacts our lives. Nancy Wu's high-energy narration bounces from problem to problem. Original music enhances the text."

Booklist: "This fast-paced, animated adaptation of author Jon Scieszka and illustrator Lane Smith’s goofy spoof of math textbooks tells the story of a young girl who feels cursed after her teacher proclaims that everything in life can be viewed as a math problem."
