Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 3--5--This series offers young readers an accessible yet comprehensive exploration of money and the economy. Each title opens with a true-false setup, prompting engagement. The series covers crucial concepts such as budgeting, types of payment, inflation, taxes, credit, and the economy. Terms children are likely to have heard from adults are explained. The author asks readers to critically evaluate newspaper cartoons, answer questions, and participate in activities such as making a business budget and comparing grocery store prices. Each title includes resources, a glossary, and an index. VERDICT Children will leave these titles with a greater understanding of family budgets and financial literacy. Highly recommended.
