My daughter is in Kindergarten and is working on addition and subtraction in her class. I bought this book as a supplement because she loves money, especially since our family instituted a $.25 bad word "game." In my opinion this book does a good job of tieing the different money types together, i.e. 5 pennies can be 1 nickel. What it doesn't do, and this may just be my preference, is to force the reader to identify amounts outside of .25, .50, and 1.00 denominations (with varying degrees of course.)

Two of our children adopted from China and Russia were having a hard time learning how to count money, and were not understanding the concepts. This coin book is big, easy to handle, colorful and was very helpful to them. I would recommend it.

My daughter enjoyed this book and although she has outgrown it, holds into it "as a resource." It is a good visual for learning about money-Great for when your child wants to learn more about money, but may still stick actual money in his/her mouth!

I was awaiting service in my bank when I first saw this book. It was intended to amuse children while their parents did business with the banking officer. I wrote down the title and author to keep for future reference. My granddaughter is in kindergarten and I was confident that this book would help her to learn much about counting and handling her own spending money. I also got her a piggie bank and put $1 worth of coins of each denomination and a dollar bill in the bank. She seemed really happy with her gift. In time I will learn whether the gift accomplished the goal of enhancing her math comprehension. I rather think that it will.
