Blurb: Joe the Monkey can’t figure out what to do with his Share jar. When Joe the Monkey makes a big mistake and spends his Share jar money, will his friends help him figure out what to do? Or will he follow his friend Vargas’ advice? Find out if a special charity can find Joe in time for him to make the right choice. My first book helped kids learn the importance of saving for a goal. Again inspired by my kids, this one will help you help them figure out how and where to use the money they accumulate in their own share jars.

Review: This little book was a nice read and a neat way to teach kids about money. I liked how the progression was set up of Joe trying to figure out what to do with his share money, the choice he made, and how that affected his free time. I also liked what Joe learned from that choice and how he turned it around in the end....and how he found a way to help someone.

Wonderful read and teaching tool.
