Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is very amusing, as well as instructive; I found its humor as important to the book as its potential educational value. Sure, you get all kinds of opportunities to count money, make change, convert nickels, pennies, dimes, and quarters--but there's much more!
Great big colorful pictures that can be enjoyed en toto or through the (sometimes hidden) details, abundant irony and sloth, and, yes, a wonderfully creative menu (with food descriptions and prices) from the "Enchanted Enchilada," the restaurant where the pigs pig out after a money hunt in their cluttered home. Your kids may even get a new, humorous, appreciation for the words "this room looks like a pigsty!"
This is all good-natured, non-preachy fun for younger elementary school kids. It's a fun way to practice simple math problems, as well as just a good story filled with color and imagination.
