What people think about this book…

First time we read the book, it intrigued a 30 min conversation about selling cookies and how to make money/save money afterwards.

My little ones and I loved this book. Another great hit from the author. The explanation of money and what you can do with it is awesome. This is well set for age 3-6, gets kids smart about money.

My kids loves it and wants to read it over and over again. I especially like the 3 piggy banks with an emphasis on saving.

I got this book for my 5 year old grand son and he totally loved it. The book uses simple language and has super cute illustrations. He kept asking me about money after the book and wanting to learn more.

Parents can easily go weary attempting to answer a volley of questions about things like money - how to get it, why there isn’t more, stuff like that. This book is the perfect tool to get ahead of the question barrage (I’m thinking of my 3 and 5 year old daughters) and turn it into entertaining education.

She learned MONEY! Good job my baby girl!
