We purchased this book for our 8 yr old son for Christmas and read it every night together. The book was filled with positive messages about relationships - with people such as family, neighbors, friends, teachers and school officials, and most importantly, developing a relationship with and about handling money. In the end, I cannot say enough about the storyline, the humor and the realism brought in our home through this book. It opened many lines of discussion on several topics, including money. We highly recommend it.
