How should we handle our money?

Gabriel really wants to buy some fancy Fast Kids shoes. But his mom says they can spend no more than thirty dollars. Gabriel searches for a great deal on the shoes. He looks online, goes to the shoe store, and checks a discount store too. Will he find the shoes at a price he can afford? Read this book to find out!

These simple, engaging stories present basic financial literacy concepts, such as saving, spending, borrowing, and comparison shopping to build a foundation for a lifetime of money smarts.

Free downloadable series teaching guide available.

Reviews

School Librarian's Workshop

For Math Awareness month, check out three series that guide students on the path to financial literacy. In Lisa Bullard’s Gabriel Gets a Great Deal (Ill. by Mike Moran, Millbrook Press, 2013, 24 p. 978-14677-0766-4), Gabriel needs new sneakers, but the ones he wants cost too much. Online sources, sales, and coupon ads don’t have both price and item. A thrift store solves the problem. Interior math problems and glossary are some extras included. Five other new titles are in this Cloverleaf Books™ Money Basics series. (Gr. K-2)
