Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Saving Money
Natalie M. Rosinsky · 2004
61/100
👎 Skip It
Rosinsky covers the saving basics — banks, interest, goal-setting — in age-appropriate language with photos and clear definitions, and the curriculum alignment means it earns its place in a school library. The 2004 publication does show its age in some banking specifics, and this is very much an introduction rather than anything deep. Functional for the classroom, but a dated first pass on a topic kids can find fresher treatment of elsewhere.
