I love this book. There are so many great lessons packed into it: math, character, selflessness, and budgeting. A young Tasmanian boy works for his mom at the market. She pays him for his hard work and tells him to go spend his money. He decides to save it so he can buy a bike to help his family. The coins are always stacked in 5s so students can practice skip counting. Those in 3rd grade on up can work on problem solving strategies as the calculate the arrays and piles of coins.
