It’s important that children learn about money, and this is the book to teach them. Through clear, simple text and bright illustrations the book explains the concept of money – when it was invented, what it’s for; and the practicalities – how it works, how we use it. The illustrations show children the same age as readers buying things and saving up, and there’s a fun Let’s Play Shop page to let children work out what they could purchase with 10p.
The book concludes with suggestions for getting the most from it, and ideas for follow up activities, including exploring free things, as well as shopping. An invaluable little book.
This new series of little books builds children's confidence with mathematical vocabulary and ideas and provides a foundation for learning in a way that feels good.
