I bought this book for my four-year-old because she was learning about currency and has been saving money in her piggy bank for some time. I decided we could start a real savings account for her, so she could learn more about the responsibilties of saving money. This book is a great intro to discussing savings and money with your toddler or young child...you will not be disappointed. My little one asks to read it almost daily now, and she is recognizing words (since it is in beginning readers format). My only complaint is that I wish it were slightly longer, but that is the purpose of the beginning reader format.

I know that Kindle is a future necessity - it will save trees, keep reading material forever, and one Kindle is alot easier to take on a plane and hopefully not to have to pay an arm and leg in luggage rates, than if we were to have a shopping bag of reading favorites. But I'm keeping an eye on how Kindle is affecting the children's book market, because I do believe that kids books should be held by little hands, pages turned back and forth to favorite parts, and so on. (Stick with me, getting to the review). I therefore have been buying extra copies of favorite books so that we have them if a page comes loose, etc., and that's why I just bought extras of this offering. Little Critter does, as noted by others, learns the value of money, how to make good decisions with money and how to have a sense of self-pride through his hard work and planning. The drawings are adorable, if not mind-blowingly colorful (I personally have always thought 'Critter' illustrations are somewhat muted, to go along with the laid-back presentation of the stories: This is one franchise that doesn't scream a self-ad every page (cough, cough, Pokemon). Really perfect for little ones even as young as two on up...and let 'em have the books while they're still around. "Mom, you missed a word on the screen there," just doesn't have as nice a ring to it as "Mommy, go back -" (little hands flip the page back) - "You missed a word, and I want to see the dinosaurs, again." =)

When Little Critter wants a skateboard, his parents tell him that he needs to save up. After earning money by doing chores, Little Critter's dad takes him to the bank to open his first savings account.
I am a bank manager, and I bought this book for the lobby at my branch. Customers love it and almost everyone asks where they can get one. It teaches children the value of a dollar, and the illustrations are brightly colored and funny.

Cute
This book is a cute way to bring up discussion about saving money. Could have added more to the ending but overall my daughter enjoyed. Mercer Mayer books are always a good time.
