Praise:
"Combining a dash of math with buckets of good humor, this book is certainly money in the bank.” -Kirkus Reviews
"[...] This tribute to what is, the author notes, still our country’s most minted coin offers a perfect opportunity to discuss the difference between mere purchasing power and real value."
-Booklist
"Highly appropriate for mathematics lessons, this tale will make children chuckle while teaching them about coins and dollar bills [...] A lighthearted introduction to the monetary and sentimental value of American currency, with a subtext on the hidden value of less measurable sums.” -SLJ
