★★★★★

One of my biggest take aways from the books is that he makes it understandable for multiple grade levels. Since I have grades K-4 in Cabot, I think each of them would easily comprehend the principles discussed by each book!

I am a 2nd year teacher and I teach Kindergarten. These are the first resources that I've heard of for Kinder aged kids that address financial literacy. Love it!

My students loved the books! They were so anxious to move to the next book. The books kept the students' attention, and they hung on every word. They loved getting to use the books and work with economics too.

I love how practical it was, both for me as an individual, and in learning how to teach my kids using these resources.

This was perfect for our students to be introduced to economics at a young age and to start giving them vocabulary that they will use throughout their lives.
