Good books. I never had a book about money when I was little, but I always understood the concept. When my parents could not afford to buy any toys I wanted, I would try to find ways to get the money they needed to buy it. I would stop eating lunch and take the money, do my friends' homework, always find a way to get the money.
Thanks for sharing!
