Sheep in a Shop - Kids & Money

by Katie Cullum

The goal of the books in this series (which includes the Trouble with Money and the Ox-Cart Man, along with a little more about the series in Teaching Money Lessons with Books ) is to help parents talk to their children about money.  This story focuses on two financial concepts - decision making and problem solving.
