Best day at the Zoo
Can an illustrated children’s book in rhyme place a child on a path of financial success in life?
Best Day at the Zoo does just that. Written in a rhythmic style, this book is a whimsical story about brother and sister twins who have dreamed about and saved for their day at the zoo with friends. There are many lessons in the book that touch on the concepts of saving, budgeting, planning, and donating. Choices are made along the way. Giraffes with long black tongues that eat from Skye’s hand, lions that roar, and penguins that waddle spark every child’s imagination. A bell ringer’s kettle provides an opportunity for Skye and Rey to give to those who have less. The subtle financial literacy messaging is told through a story that children will relate to and will want read to them over and over again.
