One of a kind book for kids who love money!, 2008-04-08
My son loves to count his bank - so this book is great for him. He loves knowing how much everything in it is worth and reading the text. Originally saw it at a friend's house and searched for it.

grandson's gift, 2003-10-27
I gave this to my 5 year old grandson last year for Christmas. He has twice saved up $20 in the book and his mother takes him to the Dollar Store to chose some items. He is also learning about the value of different coins and equivalents.

A great way to save!, 2001-10-25
We started an allowance for our almost 5 year old son and we were having a difficult time teaching him about saving. This book was the perfect tool! Now, instead of wanting to run out and spend the few coins he earns each week, he's excited about saving them up. And at the same time learning some math and money counting skills. I'll be purchasing this for several nieces and nephews as well.

Fiscal Management for Little Ones, 2000-10-10
Mr. Talbot's book appeals on so many levels, it is a "must buy" for any household with children who are curious about coins.Pick it up for any child who is always wandering around with that spare penny, nickel, dime or quarter clutched in his or her little fist. The book provides a safe place to collect those coins, while storing them in such a way that they can be looked at from time to time.
This book is perfect for any child who is ready to learn about the distinguishing characteristics of these basic coins, and how we use those coins to add up to different amounts.
And the book walks little ones through the process of saving, a stepping stone in the lesson of the value of responsible money handling. The book's premise: "If I fill all the slots, then I will have..." You and your child can then decide how the amazing sum (over $20.00, ultimately) will be spent.
Our entire family is having fun with this book. I would pick it up again in a heartbeat, and will undoubtedly be giving it to everyone I know.
