1. Money consists of several different coins. Pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters, and dollars. Coins are still something that we use today and sometimes on a daily basis. All coins are different. Some shows peoples faces, and some can show animals or plants. Money is something that is earned. You can earn money by working. When people earn money they usually save it. Money can be saved in piggy banks, jars, cans, or an actual bank.

2. 2nd-3rd grade

3. This would be a good book to go over in math class.

4. A student that would read this book would be someone that is interested in math and coins.

5. This can be used in small groups during math class so that kids can learn more about coins.

6. As a whole class you could read the book and then work with the kids on counting money and knowing the different between all coins.

7. Erin Roberson does not have any other books but there are so many books out there that include information for kids on money.

8. There is no audio or videos related directly to this book.

This is a good book that introduces the concept of money and a little bit about the time value of money. The narrative is simple and the pictures are colorful. Perfect for young schoolage children. Our girls had fun showing off how much they already knew about money. One item we all noticed was that the book mentions that Lincoln was the 16th President, Jefferson was the third, and Washington was the first; but when they discuss Franklin D. Roosevelt, they don't add that he was our 32nd President. Of course our girls asked, so I had to look it up!
