I bought this book for my four-year-old because she was learning about currency and has been saving money in her piggy bank for some time. I decided we could start a real savings account for her, so she could learn more about the responsibilties of saving money. This book is a great intro to discussing savings and money with your toddler or young child...you will not be disappointed. My little one asks to read it almost daily now, and she is recognizing words (since it is in beginning readers format). My only complaint is that I wish it were slightly longer, but that is the purpose of the beginning reader format.
I love most all little critter books. My son loves them no matter what. The story has little critter taking his money in a jar to the bank to start a savings account. It's a little advanced for my 3 yr old. I wish the book had focused more on putting money in a jar and saving vs. using a bank account.
Wonderful story to teach your children to save their money for things they want to buy. I loved it plain and simple and read the book to my 3 year old daughter all the time. She understands it and I hope sees that she will have to work/do chores for the things she wants to buy. I am a big believer that the best things in life are earned not given. Chores a very good for children because it teaches them to be responsible and value things that they work hard to get. Children will be less likely to discard a break a special toy that they had to work hard to earn. Mercer Mayer books are wonderful reading to start out your children with. The short text and wonderful illustrations make it easy for your little ones to following along to. I would recommend this book to any parent to begin teaching children about financial responsibility. Great little story I would rate it 5 stars.
This book is easy to read words are printed large enough for the child to use there fingers and follow along. This book is a great teaching tool too. It talks about saving money which is always a good thing to teach at any age.Cynthia B.
I know that Kindle is a future necessity - it will save trees, keep reading material forever, and one Kindle is alot easier to take on a plane and hopefully not to have to pay an arm and leg in luggage rates, than if we were to have a shopping bag of reading favorites. But I'm keeping an eye on how Kindle is affecting the children's book market, because I do believe that kids books should be held by little hands, pages turned back and forth to favorite parts, and so on. (Stick with me, getting to the review). I therefore have been buying extra copies of favorite books so that we have them if a page comes loose, etc., and that's why I just bought extras of this offering. Little Critter does, as noted by others, learns the value of money, how to make good decisions with money and how to have a sense of self-pride through his hard work and planning. The drawings are adorable, if not mind-blowingly colorful (I personally have always thought 'Critter' illustrations are somewhat muted, to go along with the laid-back presentation of the stories: This is one franchise that doesn't scream a self-ad every page (cough, cough, Pokemon). Really perfect for little ones even as young as two on up...and let 'em have the books while they're still around. "Mom, you missed a word on the screen there," just doesn't have as nice a ring to it as "Mommy, go back -" (little hands flip the page back) - "You missed a word, and I want to see the dinosaurs, again." =)
I purchased several books for my son to teach him about money and entrepreneurship and this one along with Just Trouble with Money are just right. He even came and repeated the stories to me to tell me what he learned.
My daughter is obsessed with putting money in her piggy bank. This has been a fun book for her, and we can talk about the words together as she starts to learn to spell. I love all the "I Can Read" books we've purchased.
This is a cute book for those learning to read, and also to go along with starting to save money. It is everything I would expect from "The Little Critter" series. It is ideal for those learning to read, and it is ideal for just starting out to read. My daughter loves the series, and she enjoys reading this one.
