Young bat Fink is suffering from insomnia. His siblings, Fang, Batrick, and Batsy, spin yarns to help lull him to sleep. However, it's only Mom Bat's story that can send all her kids to dreamland as dawn breaks. Holub's writing is full of wordplay ("'After them, ladies!'...'I think he means mateys'"), well matched by Gallagher-Cole's humorous black-and-white drawings.

All Aboard Math Reader series.

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.
