I Want That Spaceship!

Bryce Brow Sr Β· 2017
91/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Bryce Brow Sr.'s self-published 2017 picture book tackles a topic that deserves far more picture-book attention: what happens when a child wants something, has to think about money, and learns that saving and waiting are part of the equation. The story follows Tommy through decisions about spending versus saving a spaceship toy. The author's own entrepreneurial background gives the project personal authenticity. The significant caveat is limited verifiability β€” formal critical reviews are essentially absent, detailed plot information is hard to confirm from indexed sources, and self-publishing means less editorial oversight. The topic is right and the intent is clear, but families should go in knowing this is a small-press title without the critical track record of comparable financial literacy books.
