**My thoughts**

This is another book in a series for emergent readers that is teaching them about money. This particular one focuses on different ways that people earn money, whether they are adults or children. As with the rest of the series, I love the photographs of real people, because I think that really helps the children learn the concepts better. They can relate the adults in the book to adults in their lives that they have seen and maybe even see themselves doing some of the jobs that other kids are doing.

I think it's another good part of a while series that is introducing the concept of finance to children. It's also introducing new high frequency words to the kids. Do not think that the Beginning to Read label means it is for early readers, but know that this will help them on their way to becoming readers after they learn some foundational skills.

Other explanations of concepts and activities are in the back of the book to aid parents and teachers. 

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for honoring my request for a review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
