How do I format a value when using it within a cell reference tha.

I have a value in Cell B1 that is expressed as dollars such as $52,344. I
would like to format this value within a formula that returns text. For
example in Cell B2, I would put ="The sum that is in Cell B1 is "&b1&"."

Now I want the value in B1 to be reflected within the results of my formula.
I want the result to read: The sum that is in Cell B1 is $52,344.

How do I do this?
