Alexander learns about saving and spending money, how difficult can be not spending money but how wise it can be to save it for the future. ( )

I love this book, it is a great way to discuss financial literacy with children. ( )

A delightful illustration of how easy it is for money to slip through one's fingers buying things of little value. ( )

Alexander Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday was a funny book! This book is about a little boy who just cannot save up his money but is jealous when his brothers and everyone else has more money than him. Alexander buys different objects including a melted candle, a teddy bear, and a pack of gum that he doesn't absolutely need and wastes his money. I think this is a good book to show students how to save up their money and buy things that they need rather than always buying things they just want. ( )

Alexander has problems holding on to his money. A charming book that demonstrates how easy it is to spend and how difficult it is to save.
