Money is an important aspect of our lives. Beginning in first grade, school children are taught the importance of money, denominations, economics and credit. While money can be a hard topic to teach in a relatable manner, there are several fun and educational books that you as educators can read as the basis for mini-lessons. A few of my favorites include Just Shopping with Mom by Mercer Mayer, The Coin Counting Book by Rozanne Lanczak Williams, Pigs Will be Pigs by Amy Axelrod,Trouble with Money by Jan and Stan Berenstain and King Midas by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Please enjoy the following links that list hundreds of fun and educational books that discuss economics and finances:
