This brightly illustrated picture book introduces the concept
of money, first by looking at its development as an alternative
to bartering and then by explaining the many forms of money, from
primitive rocks, feathers, and metal lumps to the familiar coins
and paper bills to alternatives such as checks, credit cards, and
digital forms of payment. Adler does a particularly good job
explaining the inconvenience of
bartering through child-friendly examples such as How would a
baker trade for a house? How many loaves of bread would he have to
trade? And why would anybody want so much bread? Using flat colors
and stylized designs, Millers upbeat digital artwork helps to
clarify points made in the text, while adding occasional bits of
visual humor.
A unique look at colours and friendship, now available in
paperback. This very simple text is about two friends, Sue and
Nick, who like different colours but are still good friends. The
artwork is stunning with each artist contributing alternate pages
in their own inimitable style. The deceptively simple text is
perfect for children learning to read.

willing to risk it!
