Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Saving Money
Philip Heckman · 2005
58/100
👎 Skip It
This is a tidy little primer on saving and banking basics for elementary kids, part of an established economics curriculum series. It does its job simply and safely, but it reads dated and doesn't have much personality or memorable craft to it. Fine for a classroom shelf, not a must-have for your home library.
