YOUNGER FICTION
(4) 1-3 All Aboard Math Reader series. Illustrated by Mernie Gallagher Cole & Mernie Gallagher Cole. Young Gary Graff hates family reunions--until his offhand observations give his math homework purpose (e.g., he makes a bar graph to show which lunch dish is most popular). Despite some clunky dialogue, the cartoonishly illustrated story works because Bader injects humor into her lessons, for example, to help Gary do his homework, his cousins furtively figure out which relatives dye their hair.
