Step into Reading Step 4: 20,000 Baseball Cards Under the Sea

Grade 2-3-- Roger's elderly friend, Kenneth, who is a collector and a recycler, is upset about having his taxes raised. He takes the boy for an amazing ride in his homemade submarine to his undersea storage shed where Roger finds a trunkful of valuable baseball cards worth enough money to buy a Corvette and pay the taxes. Roger keeps his favorite card concluding that, ``Some things are worth more than money.'' It is doubtful that young readers will relate to themes of escalating taxes and selling baseball cards to buy a car that Roger cannot drive. On the other hand, the colorful cartoon illustrations are appealing and contribute greatly to the mundane text. The vocabulary and sentence structure are age appropriate. Marzollo's Soccer Sam or Donnelly's The Titanic: Lost & Found (both Random, 1987) are far more entertaining than this selection.
