Spending Money
Every day, people spend money to get the goods and services they need or want. The cash they use may travel around the world or go right to the neighborhood bank. Checks, credit, and debit cards are another way to transact purchases. This book introduces readers to the various ways we spend. Students will also learn a crucial real-world skill—making a budget, so they’ll have money available when they need it.

Series Review: Money and BanksThese titles will supplement economic units. Information is presented briefly and clearly, with enough facts to provide a framework of understanding. Saving discusses piggy banks, opening a savings account, and stocks. Spending explains goods and services, circulation of cash, credit cards, and budgeting. Bank has chapters on deposits, bank safety, and loans. The books are illustrated with clear color photographs. A Math Connection page is well done and includes a related activity. Similar in scope and quality to the Invest Kids series (Rosen), these books will fit well into elementary collections.School Library JournalRL
