School libraries need books about money and economics, and this series covers both well. Each book in this series has the same effective structure. Money is described with pictures of both coins and bills, economic principles are explained with vocabulary defined. Each book addresses an interesting need that children can relate to, and there is a character acting upon needs versus wants. Goal setting, saving money for purchases, and the consequences of choices are covered with different scenarios. The series meets instructional needs for most elementary social studies curricula. Recommended.
