The illlustrations are fun. The text talks about situations to which kids can relate. The book gives some good lessons about money and how to use it. Yet, the book never bogs down. Children find it interesting and fun.

I strongly think you should read this book because it is funny. It has a wizard that does magic and he helps kids learn how to save their money. You should extremely like this book because the kids make things and they get money. They also babysit a giant baby for one thousand dollars. A boy makes a bridge and they do their chores. They also do incredible things.

My son absolutely hated this book, it taught very little & focused mainly on statistical nonsense. The book is also now outdated. He had to read this book for school, so there was no choice. I'm sure there are better books out there than this one such as Alexander, Who was Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst is 1000x better & funnier too. I think it's a little too advanced for a 4-5 yr old -- even a 6-7 yr old doesnt care about interest or a home mortgage. HORRIBLE!

This book does an excellent job encouraging young children to create a secure financial future for themselves. It sparks interest in the toddlers who were previously bored with the topic of personal financial planning. They'll have their calculators out and be balancing the books in NO TIME!! Great introduction for youngsters.

Looking to make some money? If you're a cheerful and willing helper, Marlen the magician will gladly take you on and show you jobs; from feeding fish to taming ogres and how much money you can make doing them. This book will take you on a mathematical adventure in making money and earning interest.
This is a great book for kids 4-6 who want to read picture book or even older kids who want to know how interest and banking works. Older readers can just refer to the back where author David Schwartz explains the math behind the book. This book also features great pictures with a colorful star border all around.
All in all, If you Made a Million is an awesome book about banking and money and was one of my personal favorite books in kindergarten.
If you like this book, then you might like How Much is a Million also by David Schwartz.

If you made a Million is a book that talks about money and its value. It teaches about the bank and how to save your money. It also teaches that money is valuable.

I recommend this book to anybody who likes to read about money. I also think it is a bit boring.
