Reach for this book when your child is suddenly begging for every toy they see on a screen or doesn't yet understand that television commercials are designed to sell, not just inform. It is a perfect tool for discussing consumerism and the 'gimme' phase that often hits during the early elementary years.

It explores themes of perseverance and financial literacy while gently modeling how to handle disappointment. It is an ideal choice for parents wanting to teach the value of a dollar and the importance of healthy skepticism toward advertising.
