Book Description
Stuart J. Murphy travels all over the UnitedStates talking to thousands of kids. And you'll never believe what they talk about: MATH! Stuart shows kids that they use math every day -- to share a pizza, spend their allowance, even sort socks. Stuart writes funny stories about math -- and if you read his books, you'll start to see the fun in math, too.
It's rodeo time! Katie and Cameron want to see everything -- the bronc riders, the barrel racers, the calf ropers, and more. They'll have to learn to make a schedule and stick to it or they'll miss out on the time of their lives!


Children's Literature
While learning about time and schedules, Katie and Cameron help their uncle, a bull rider, at the rodeo. Each day the children write up their activity time schedule, including the time for the chore that Cactus Joe, their uncle, assigns to them. On the first day Cameron and Katie, unfortunately, lose track of the time and arrive too late to help Cactus Joe with the task of watering the horses. The next day the children, not wanting to disappoint their uncle, try again and just barely make it on time to help catch calves. The following day's job for the children is handing out ribbons for the Bull Riding Championship (Cactus Joe's event). Katie and Cameron keep a close watch on the time and decide on an early start to the grandstand. Although they run into a few obstacles, the children arrive to the event on time for the big event. The illustrations include images of analog timepieces and schedules to remind the characters and readers of the concept of time. Following the story are helpful suggestions for activities around the concept of time and schedules that readers can relate to in their daily experience. The story may connect more with readers if the context revolved around events that children normally face as a part of their daily lives. Rodeo Time is a Level 3 book in the "MathStart" series. 2006, Harper Trophy/HarperCollins Publishers.


School Library Journal
Katie and Cameron are at the rodeo, not only to watch, but also to help their uncle, Cactus Joe, the best bull rider in Texas. They must water the horses, catch loose calves, and hand out winning ribbons. At first, they don't get things done on time, but, through trial and error, they learn to create a schedule that enables them to perform their tasks and still watch the events. Math concepts are neatly integrated into the story as the two kids to learn to manage their time and see their uncle win the Bull Riding Championship. Wenzel's lively color cartoons create an authentic environment and enhance the excitement and suspense of the story.
