Reviews
This solid series is aimed at helping readers understand money. Going back to 10,000 BCE, History is an interesting look at how coin and paper money came to be. Economies delivers an unbiased comparison of some of the major world economies, while Using Money should be read by all middle schoolers who might need guidance about spending their allowances. Government and Trade are likewise well written and at an appropriate level for the intended age group. The clear language and meaningful examples help kids understand how to make money, save money, and budget. Earning is also informative, but it has a couple of confusing diagrams. Photographs, diagrams, and sidebars are plentiful; some are more enhancing than others. Overall, a useful series. Stephanie Farnlacher, Trace Crossings Elementary School, Hoover, ALSchool Library Journal/Series Made SimpleNovember 2011, This short (45 pages) book is an overview of money through history and throughout the world. It starts with trade and bartering, goes through the introduction of coins and banknotes, and continues on with a discussion of different currencies and money systems used today. Strengths: Interesting nonfiction, and it has an Accelerated Reader test. Weaknesses: Not what I needed. I was hoping that there would be more on certain areas, but there are barely two pages on all of ancient Rome and Greece. The inclusion of "Solve It!" sidebars was a bit odd. - Karen Yingling Ms. Yingling Reads blog 1/14/2013 http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2013/01/middle-grade-monday-33-minutes.html, Money Through History is an unusual book on money. It covers the history of money and what kind of money is in different countries. The book doesn't really talk much about money in the United States. For someone that likes to learn about the origin of objects this might be of interest to them. Words in bold print, like surplus and barter, could be helpful in studying economics. It is current and talks about paying online, credit cards and how the country of Greece had their money problems in 2010. -Linda Scholz, Chandler View Omaha Public Schools 1/27/2013, The "Understanding Money" (Heinemann, 2011; Gr 3-6) series is comprised of six titles that help explain personal finances and the impact of world economies on society. Gail Fay's Economies Around the World charts the advantages and disadvantages of free market, command, and socialist economies, while Patrick Catel's Money and Trade addresses resource scarcity and modern-day pirating. Fay's Using Money and Nick Hunter's Earning Money discuss debt, credit, wages and incorporate "solve it!" math problems. Lori McManus's Money Through History and Catel's Money and Government round out this visually striking series that delivers such extras as biographical profiles, flow charts, timelines, and colorful images.- Vicki Reutter (School Library Journal Curriculum Connection) 12/06/2011, Using current events to illustrate points in regards to economics around the world, this series is a basic starting point for students. Each volume poses a question to begin each "chapter," and ensures a well-thought-out answer by the end, using photographs, artwork, historical political cartoons, and graphs, which are all captioned. Each title also includes "Solve It!" questions, which require both mathematical and critical thinking analyses. Answers are provided. Money through History includes a timeline for the use of money throughout time. Especially noteworthy is the section in Using Money on online banking and identity theft. The series is an extremely informative set of books that will entertain while informing students about economics. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index. Beth Green, School Library Media Specialist.
