Written with a little adventure, this book dives into the world of simple finances in a fun way.

Lincoln, named after the President Lincoln on the $5 bill, is excited to travel around and discover the world around him. Not only does he get to see quite a few things, but he learns a bit about finance and how people spend in various ways.

This book takes a cute dive into the world of money by following a likeable character on his journey. Lincoln is a bill with a sympathetic personality, who is simply curious and ready to learn. If bill's had a heart, his would be golden, and this makes him easy to follow as he goes from one situation to the next. Listeners and readers are drawn into the small adventures and will be eager to see how each one continues as Lincoln meets various characters and learns quite a bit along the way.
