Kylie Jean shows children that she can find a way to make money on her own. It teaches children to be independent with themselves in the case of money. It also teaches children to manage their earnings. . . .I like the cute illustrations all over the book. And I like the interactive pages which let readers answer and discuss the given question. There is also a cupcake recipe!
