This book is fantastic. It not only lets children keep their coins on the bookshelf, but teaches them about money at the same time. Some of the pages show children how many pennies it takes to make a nickel, dime and quarter, and others take you along a money path. I was thrilled with the book quality and price!

We started an allowance for our almost 5 year old son and we were having a difficult time teaching him about saving. This book was the perfect tool! Now, instead of wanting to run out and spend the few coins he earns each week, he's excited about saving them up. And at the same time learning some math and money counting skills. I'll be purchasing this for several nieces and nephews as well.

Mr. Talbot's book appeals on so many levels, it is a "must buy" for any household with children who are curious about coins.

Pick it up for any child who is always wandering around with that spare penny, nickel, dime or quarter clutched in his or her little fist. The book provides a safe place to collect those coins, while storing them in such a way that they can be looked at from time to time.

This book is perfect for any child who is ready to learn about the distinguishing characteristics of these basic coins, and how we use those coins to add up to different amounts.

And the book walks little ones through the process of saving, a stepping stone in the lesson of the value of responsible money handling. The book's premise: "If I fill all the slots, then I will have..." You and your child can then decide how the amazing sum (over $20.00, ultimately) will be spent.

Our entire family is having fun with this book. I would pick it up again in a heartbeat, and will undoubtedly be giving it to everyone I know.

I gave this to my 5 year old grandson last year for Christmas. He has twice saved up $20 in the book and his mother takes him to the Dollar Store to chose some items. He is also learning about the value of different coins and equivalents.

anyone trying to teach youngsters about saving should start with coin county ! wonderfully illistrated and original. fun and secretly educational . simply a must for age 4 to 10.

I was very happy with this item. It was in perfect condition and my granddaughter was very happy to use it to save money

Very impressed with the book. It will teach my grandbabies about money and in the process I can save for them and give them a very nice gift.I also received the book in record time I will purchase again from this seller.

My son is four, and he loves this book. It's a fun way to learn about coins. He is motivated to save coins so he can put them in this book. He learned to identify dimes, pennies, nickles, and quarters. In additon, he learned how five pennies equals a nickle etc. I only wish there more books like this one. I am purchasing more for gifts.
Great idea!

It was more than I thought it would be--I am sure my grandson will have a ball following in his Grandpa steps as he collects coins!

This was a great Idea!!!!

a great way to save money for kids , and grandkids !!!
