This 8 page, thick cardboard book mixes delightful, humorous color illustrations, promotes early childhood savings, simple math relationships between coin values of pennies through -quarters, gives specifics on coin metals:copper-nickel-silver, and promotes regimen to fill every slot, empty book at bank to open a savings deposit account, suggests repeating process.

Illustrations by Thomas Morrison, Jr. and poetic verse by Genevieve Burke. Copyright 1941.
