Alexander had hoped to save the dollar from his grandparents - for Walkie-talkies!! But first he bought some gum...then lost a couple bets with his brothers...rented a friends pet snake...and soon found out he was no longer rich.
Funny book about a boy who squanders his dollar from grandma and grandpa. Getting pretty dated in terms of how much things cost...however, message is still relevant!
Great for teaching money and math.
NOt that thrilling...maybe to an 8 or 9 year old who gets allowance
