About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'Is this enough?' at the checkout counter or when you want to transform abstract math homework into a tangible, high-stakes mission. It is the perfect bridge for children who understand the names of coins but struggle to visualize how they combine to create purchasing power in the real world. The story follows the Pig family as they hunt through couch cushions, old clothes, and dresser drawers to fund a much-needed dinner out. Beyond the arithmetic, the book celebrates family collaboration and the infectious joy of a shared goal. It is a delightful tool for teaching financial literacy through humor, making it an essential pick for children ages 4 to 9 who are beginning to navigate the value of money.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and lighthearted. It touches on a common domestic scenario of being 'short on cash' for a luxury (eating out), but does so through a lens of abundance and discovery rather than true financial hardship.
