Loading... Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday (1978)by Judith Viorst
This story help kids learn about saving money. ages 5 to 8 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. Alexander struggles with saving his money, and has to learn the hard way that you must save money to be able to buy things you want.
