Overview / 简介: |
Clink, clink, clink, clink...Clink, clink, clinkity... Money saved in a bank makes your brain think-thinkity!
Children are fascinated by money how it looks, feels, smells, and most of all, what it buys. And Pete is no exception. The rhymed verse describes how Pete saves his allowance, spends too much of it, has second thoughts, and starts over. Young readers will not only applaud Pete's decisions, but join him in his computations as he saves, spends, and strategizes over future purchases. The lively combination of fact and fiction, plus humorous art, will prove both thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book is written in rhyme which will make it fun for younger children. It mentions different denominations of money and how we need to add our coins to see the total we have, so there is an introduction of Math as well.
I especially liked that the story addressed how little Pete felt when he first spent all his money on the new dinosaur. (New Dinosaur VS Empty Piggy Bank) I think children all need to go through the experience of desiring something, buying it, and then wondering if it really was a good purchase after all.
As the story goes on, Pete receives money for household work, allowance, finding coins on the street, and selling products to friends which gives children ideas on how they can actually obtain money (aside from a birthday gift). This also gives parents flexibility if they do not believe in allowance and paying for housework. These parents can highlight the other ways mentioned that children can earn money. In the end after saving again, Pete returns to the store but has learned the lesson to spend in moderation and thus chooses a smaller dinosaur.
This is a great introduction for children on how money works in today's society. One thing not mentioned was the possibility of using your money as a donation to charity. Amanda Haley has done a wonderful job with bright entertaining pictures and Harriet Ziefert keeps the text moving at a good pace ensuring this book will be a true story and not another dreary book about money! |
