own children for a number of years now. Stuart Murphy has written
books that develop mathematical concepts for all who read and
listen to them. To find these books accompanied by activities for
both home and school is a gift for all learners.” — Jonathan Dueck

"No matter what is happening in the world today, the MathStart
series takes an abstract concept and makes it real and concrete to
the teacher, students, and parents that are reading and using
them. Kids, young and old, fall in love with math when they
see how real life and effortless it becomes thanks to these books.
Math is everywhere around us." — Kimberly D. Mueller, Ed.D. First
Grade Teacher Ashbrook School Lumberton, New Jersey
"Each kid-engaging Math Start book is focused on a specific math
concept, the vocabulary is age appropriate, and the story lines
with delightful illustrations are easy for kids to follow. These
books are a perfect springboard into a lesson or review of a lesson
and should be read and read again! Guaranteed Teacher and
Child Approved." — Catherine Kuhns, M.Ed. National Board

"We are big Stuart J. Murphy fans. The MathStart books compliment
our hands-on learning experience of making math meaningful. We keep
a basket of MathStart books with our math manipulatives.
Preschoolers act out the stories, master the vocabulary of math,
and enjoy hearing the stories again and again." — Susan Fahey,

“I have owned/used Stuart J. Murphy books and been a “groupie” for
a long time. His math books humanize math and make it relatable,
which is essential in today’s world. Students must be able to
connect with math now more than ever. The books promote the wonder
in mathematics and connect math learning to real world experiences.
That wonder will build future problem solvers. Stuart’s books are
an energizing force in my school and with my teaching.” — Charyl
