Editorial Reviews

"Slavin's expressive, watercolor-and-ink illustrations mesh perfectly with Zimelman's deadpan text. A great choice for read-alouds, this will also make an excellent introduction to primary units on money." Booklist

"The contemporary, lively watercolor illustrations emphasize the outlandish situations." School Library Journal
