Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1--In this concept book, several monsters go to a pet store to purchase a "best friend": "One dime buys a beetle./One dime buys a bat./Five pennies and one nickel/buy a rat." Realistic images of full-sized pennies, nickels, and dimes combine to show children the different ways to make 10 cents, allowing them to count the coins and become actively involved in the story. The bright and cheerful cartoon illustrations are filled with smiling monsters and grinning pets. Learning activities to familiarize children with these coins and their values appear at the end. Educationally sound and presented at an appropriate level, Monster Money will be popular in the classroom and at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great early reader!, January 8, 2001
By A Customer
My Kindergarten-aged son loves this book. He enjoyed seeing all the different pets that the monsters bought. He also got very good at figuring out how to make 10 cents from different combinations of coins.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning Math and Reading With Giggles, January 5, 2002
By "nvavesweeneys" (Kaukauna, WI USA) - See all my reviews
While learning to read a child develops a concept of ten cents in every concievable fashion. All the while it entertains a child to the point of giggles.

3.0 out of 5 stars PCC Student Review, March 11, 2005
By SomeGuyInTucson "SGIT" (Tucson, Arizona) - See all my reviews
I read this book to a 4th grade nephew of mine, being he is the only family member I have anywhere near the desired age for the assignment given. The child already displayed adaquate knowledge of the ability to discern the topic touched upon. The concept of money was not new to him and was quickly able the book shuffled around the concept of equal amounts, just grouped differently. He was not so captivated by the illustration(s) and found them to be rather on the mediocre side, *kid is spoiled on flash animation and japanimation*. He did say that perhaps at one time he'd expressed interest in the book, but that that time had since passed. Good book, wrong audience for me I think.
