Good Money basics for young kids,
By A Customer
This review is from: A High-Fiving Gift for Mom (Hardcover)
Illustrator Trachok has done it again! The information conveyed in the storyline can be found in a number of places but Ms. Trachok's lively and creative illustrations keep children's attention long enough to learn! It's never too early to learn about handling cash. This was a good lesson for my 8 year old.
