The Big Buck Adventure

One little girl and one very big dollar set out on a great adventure at the store.

However, what seems like a pleasant afternoon of shopping soon turns perplexing as the challenge of her buying options becomes overwhelming. She doesn't know what to do. There are so many choices, but she only has one buck. A fun and perfect example of how we use math in our daily lives.

This sprightly rhyming excursion into buying power puts lie to the notion that economics is by nature a dreary topic. --Kirkus Reviews
