The O'Malleys are off to the beach! But it's a long, hot, boring drive. What can Eric, Bridget, and Nell do to keep busy? Play tally games, of course -- counting up all the gray cars or green T-shirts they see. Whoever has the most marks at the end wins the game. Eric wins the first game. Bridget wins the second. It seems like poor Nell will never win a game! But Nell has the luck of the Irish on her side, and a surprise in store for her big brother and sister.

Tallying is so important for math learning. It gives kids a head start in counting by fives and it is a good basis for charts and graphs.This book is a fun little story about a family on vacation and how they pass the time. Nice message for parents in there about entertaining the kids on long car trips, and it really shows kids how to tally. This is a great book.
This is an excellent book and different method of sharing counting with students. Great for teachers for preparation of academic testing.
Before he was born, I bought my son "lemonade for sale" which is one of the books in this series. He loved it and so did I. I have since bought him 6 other Stuart J. Murphy Math Start books. He puts them in a big stack and brings them over for me to read them all to him. He's only 23 months but already loves numbers! What else could a mom want?
Great book. My 6 yr. old and 4 yr. old love it and now we all play tally games.
This book is WORTH PURCHASING teachers! I always order books from my local library, then try them out on my second-graders. This one is a winner- from its adorable & fun illustrations to a "real life" practical story involving math...my kids loved this book. So do I.
If I had more than two thumbs every single one of them would be pointing up for this book! My daughter is 4 and I have been looking for ways to incorporate math into our very right-brained house. This book was a nice segue into talking about numbers, counting and even playing the game Talley O'Malley! I will check out more of this author's work. It seems to be just what I have been looking for-- math oriented fun.
Love the way in which the story unfolds, using fanciful play to teach practical math skills. My classroom of first graders loved it!
Don't miss this book - if you ever take a car vacation with your kids! The three kids in this family have three opportunities to play "who can find the most _____ in the color ______ " along the day-long drive toward the vacation destination. The parents distribute pencils and paper, each child chooses a color, the parents decide how long the game will take, and the game begins. Two games are played within the car, one game is played while standing in line at the hamburger stand for lunch. Our 3-1/2 year old daughter has been happy to read this with me several times over the last 6 months. We have tried tallying on a car trip with her, and it worked well. She isn't coordinated enough yet to write up the tally numbers (llll, then a diagonal), but when she gets older, she will understand this. Meanwhile, it is a great story!
