Why is this book on our shelf:

We love the way the concept is presented. A simple narrative, with relatable characters (Dadi, Mom, Dad, etc) will get the kids to like this book. Also since it is in the form of a story and not something serious or preachy, the older kids will love to read it on their own.
When a bestselling author of crime and mystery genres writes a book for kids on a topic that most parents need, the reach is greater and that’s a good thing for the world of children’s books!
The next time, your kids insist on a toy that isn’t actually needed- just remind them where money comes from and how money doesn’t grow on trees! They will understand!
