This would be a cute book to help teach kids about money and saving. I kept expecting Alexander to mention saving for a trip to Australia! :) ( )

I am a big fan of Judith Viorst and this one does not disappoint. I love Alexander as a character and use the stories about him with children I work with. I love the humour, the illustrations, the underlying moral to the story, I just love the book. ( )

Book description
Poor little Alexander just can't seem to save his money. This is a great book to use for math problem solving because each page could be made into a story problem.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689711999, Paperback)

Last Sunday, Alexander's grandparents gave him a dollar -- and he was rich. There were so many things that he could do with all of that money!

He could buy as much gum as he wanted, or even a walkie-talkie, if he saved enough. But somehow the money began to disappear...

Readers of all ages will be delighted by this attractive new edition of Judith Viorst's beloved picture book.
