978-0140349368, RRP £4.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "One in a Million: A Book of Poems Where Maths Becomes Fun (Young Puffin Poetry)" on Amazon

As well as being fun in its own right, this collection of poems with a mathematical theme offers marvellous starting points for discussion and exploration. Why not introduce a topic on volume or estimation with Charles Thomson's How Many Peas ... or one on length with 'I Want a Small Piece of String' by Remy Charlip. Cross-curricular opportunities galore here.
