About the Author: The real-life person behind Bear McSavings earned an MBA from The Wharton School, a Law Degree from the University of Pennsylvania, a Masters in Public Policy from the University of Southern California, and a Bachelor's in Economics from UC Santa Barbara. He currently works at a top-tier consulting firm as a senior advisor to private equity funds and Fortune 500 executives. He previously informed monetary policy at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and served as a math teacher with Teach for America. About the Bear McSavings Series: The Bear McSavings Series is comprised of 50 children's books, each addressing a unique financial topic. Topics include: personal finance, investing, real estate, entrepreneurship, the Federal Reserve, crypto, private equity, and much more-all in a comprehensive and child-friendly way. According to FINRA, 70% of Americans cannot pass a basic financial literacy test. This underscores a harsh truth: financial illiteracy leads to substantial challenges and regrets. My belief is straightforward: the earlier children are exposed to financial concepts, the better prepared they'll be to navigate life. I created this book series to prepare my own child for the world and now I want to share it with you and your family.… (more)

This is the first in a long series of books on money matters for kids. It spends a lot of time focusing more on the story, so it rhymes quite well and has a nice cadence. The illustrations are soft and lovely and feel like they stepped out of an animated show. This book gave an idea of all the ways people earn income. That was interesting, but I hope that there’s deeper information in the following books in the series. This seemed a basic view over which while I’m not sure it fits the title of “understanding” in it rather just says, “here’s how to get income”. (
