**My thoughts**
I want to start by saying that I appreciate that this nonfiction book uses real photographs for its illustrations. That really helps to make the concepts more relatable and a little bit more concrete for the young readers.
It's a simple explanation about what people can do with the money that they earn and really emphasizes the importance of saving and how once it is spent, it is gone. That's an important concept to instill in children at a young age. I think this is a good addition to a collection of books and materials that you could use in the classroom or at home when teaching children about money.
This book says that it is a Beginning-to-Read book, but it is definitely not for the early reader, so don't start with this one for your young reader. After some experience, they will be ready for this. You do get a word list in back that you can use to help kids learn the words in this book and work up to reading it on their own. There are also a lot of other activities in the back for parents and teachers to use. The author is a former elementary teacher, so there is good information in the back.
I gave it 4.5 stars overall.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for honoring my request for a review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
