Leans toward a socialist perspective on accumulating money
Derived From Web , May 28, 2022
The story line was clear and the message of sharing was strong. It is a little too socialist for me seriously ; I don 't want to teach my children to drop their pennies into a pot so that my children can have what they want.

Great for all ages
Derived From Web , May 28, 2022
My elementary students love this book. This boom could be set for another level, but kindergarten students understand it fine. I had a money - counting activity that followed reading the reading.

The book was a great read. I love the concept of teaching children how to count coins and identify them. I love the colors used to illustrate the pictures. I also like that the author mentioned additional books with similar concepts to read and the glossary at the end.
