The Monster Money Book (Hardcover)

by Loreen Leedy (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-4-- The financial activities of Monster Club members (a group of motley monsters and one human girl) provide the vehicle for a discussion of basic money management and banking. The information is presented in dialogue balloons, which is confusing and difficult to follow. Everything is accurate, but sketchy and not well organized. The colorful drawings are garish and unimaginative; the monsters are not appealing as adorable friends or as threatening ogres. Not a wise investment. --Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful math book!, October 3, 2000

This review is from: The Monster Money Book (Paperback)

I am a student attending USAO in Chickasha, Oklahoma. I am going to school to become an elementary teacher. I had an assignment that wanted me to find math books that were relevant to children. I stumbled upon this book. I found it to be extraordinary! It deals with so many aspects of math and money. I like the way this book deals with the complexity of borrowing and shows how to save and spend money. It makes so many connections to the real world. I must say that I was very very impressed with this book! I hope to use it one day when I am a classroom teacher! I recommend this book to all teachers, students, and parents.
