Bill is telling us the history of money and how it evolved. He also tells us about the different kinds of money, such as paper money, coins, and plastic money, known as a credit card. This was very interesting and educational. ( )

This book was very informative about money and taught me things I did not know. It went over the history of money, how it is made, and what the future of money might be. Although this book is very informative and at times interesting, I found that it was somewhat dragged out. I found myself loosing interest, possibly because I am not a big history person, towards the end of the book. I cannot help but think if I was loosing interest, would other young readers? Overall, I do think that this book would be beneficial during a social studies class and to have in my classroom library. ( )

This book is all about money...the ways to make money, the different types of money and the value of money. Before there was money people bartered and traded for things. People were paid in salt, cod, corn, rice, animals or even chocolate. The history of gold was discussed; the largest gold nugget weighed 154 pounds and Egyptian pharaohs buried gold so they would be rich in the next world. The creation of coins and bills is taught and the idea of collecting coins is introduced. There is not one aspect about money left out of the book. They even have a section about identifying fake money! I would recommend this book to grades 1-5 and I think high school and college students could learn from this book. ( )

This book is written as if a student is writing it for a project. It tells the history of money, and all about money today. It is a good book for students to read because it is something they will be using in everyday life. It could also be read to students when teaching about money in Math. ( )

A child's report on money for his teacher. Lots of drawings to keep a child's attention. Tells the history of money and different types of money that have been used throughout history, such as shells, gold and codfish. ( )
