Gr. 1-2. In two easy readers from the Math Matters series, children solve real-world problems using simple mathematical tools. Blast Off features Jim, who is determined to collect 10,000 "Blast Off Bar" wrappers and win a trip to space camp. With a little publicity and a lot of help from his community, thousands of wrappers start rolling in. Only Jim's ingenious system for grouping them enables him to keep track of the mounting total and win the prize. Cheerful ink-and-watercolor artwork illustrates this clearly told tale. In Fair, Marco tries without success to convince his dad to raise his allowance. When Marco collects data and makes bar graphs, though, he makes his case in a persuasive, inspiring, and ultimately successful way. The last page shows information presented on bar graphs. Similarly, the last page of Blast Off features a place-value chart based on Jim's bundles and bags of wrappers. Brilliant colors and lightly stylized drawings energize the illustrations, which include several charts. Good reading and painless reinforcement for the math curriculum. Carolyn Phelan
