Booklist - 01/17/2024 This is a chipper little introduction to money and what it can—and can't—do. A cheerful cartoon wad of $20 bills acts as narrator and dispenses conventional wisdom about earning, saving, and spending money judiciously. Our narrator also talks about some refreshing aspects of having money, such as being able to spend it on personal-improvement projects (such as trombone lessons or art classes) or, better yet, being able to share it to help out people or special causes that need support. Readers are reminded that while money may seem important, people should never be judged by material items, and that each individual should be valued for exactly who they are, and not what they have. Money can buy cool stuff, true, but there's no way money can buy happiness. The upbeat illustrations (be sure to check out the end pages) help keep the tone light, and the basic economic lessons blend seamlessly with the social-emotional aspects. This unique offering makes a great read-aloud and should start some interesting discussions. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
