Start Saving, Henry!

Henry is seven years old and gets an allowance for doing his chores. As soon as he gets the money, he runs out and spends it. At the toy store one day, he sees a new toy that he would love to have; but it costs more than his allowance, and his mother won't buy it for him. She suggests he save his allowance until he has enough money. Henry soon discovers that saving money is harder than it looks. Written and illustrated by Nancy Carlson, this could be the basis of a discussion about earning and saving money.
