Stuart J. Murphy and his wife, Nancy, live in Boston.
Gr. 1-3. The Sluggers baseball team has a car wash to earn the money for new T-shirts. While most of his teammates scrub, rinse, and polish the cars, CJ serves as the accountant, sips lemonade, and makes change for the customers. At the end of the day, the workers turn the hose on the one member of the carwash team who never got his hands wet. The closing pages, "For Adults and Kids," offer suggestions of activities that support the math concepts, ways to help children feel more comfortable figuring dollars and cents, and a couple of picture books to reinforce the ideas. As CJ keeps track of money in the story, readers can follow along by watching the sums on his clipboard. Some may even learn to make change, a simple activity that seems to confuse even cashiers these days. Saltzberg's colorful illustrations reflect the jovial tone of the text in this appealing addition to the Math Start series. Carolyn Phelan
