This lively entry in the MathStart series (see review above)
introduces elementary bar graphing, plus some rudiments of
marketing, as the members of the Elm Street Kids Club refill their
depleted piggybank by opening a lemonade stand. Their graph
reflects steadily rising sales - until Thursday, when traffic
suddenly slows to a trickle, diverted by Jed, a new juggler working
the comer. When the children invite Jed to work next to their stand
on Friday, sales rocket off the chart. In vigorously drawn
watercolors, Tusa adds loads of funny detail, from the club
members' lemon-shaped headgear and assorted customers to the squads
of lemons partying across the endpapers. A winning way to make some
basic concepts and techniques less intimidating. (Kirkus Reviews)
Four kids and their sidekick, Petey the parrot, run a sometimes thriving lemonade stand whose patrons include all kinds of wacky neighbors—even a juggler. They create a bar graph to track the rise and fall of their lemonade sales. Illustrator Tricia Tusa has imbued the story with her delightful sense of humor and has made understanding bar graphs a breeze.
