Review

What a wonderful book this was! Not only was the book inviting from it’s colorful illustrations but it offered some important lessons that the author brought to a level that was relatable and teachable. I loved how the characters were siblings because not only was it a fun game they could play together but it taught them how to help each other. Two important things that kids struggle with are being patient and sharing. This story does a great job with taking those two things and showing children the benefits of what can happen when you work together and share. This would be a wonderful introduction to show them the value in saving while playing a fun game.

This is recommended for grade level 3-4 and has 38 pages.
