While his classmates are boasting about their parents' jobs, fourth grader Charlie Bumpers gets carried away and leaves the impression that his accountant dad is not only the president of his company but also that he will hand out free calculators to everyone. Then, with rumors flying around the school and expectations escalating, Charlie tells his teacher that his dad can speak to their class during Career Week.
But just before the big event, Mr. Bumpers loses his job. How will Charlie explain to his class? Will his dad still come in during Career Week? Fortunately, Mr. Bumpers has some very surprising plans of his own.
Black-and-white illustrations by Adam Gustavson enhance readers' enjoyment of the story.

The Horn Book
January 1, 2018
Charlie asks his accountant father to speak at Career Week, hoping a successful classroom appearance will reflect positively on him. After boasting about his dad's serious math skills, Charlie's classmates misinterpret his father's career, and Charlie must face the half-truths his friends now believe. This sixth installment is an amusing tale of well-intentioned exaggerations; black-and-white ink and watercolor spot art is sprinkled throughout.(Copyright 2018 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
