[15] p.: ill.
A unique children's book designed to teach children the habit and fun of saving money. Three thick cardboard leaves are titled: The Penny Page, The Five Cent Page, and the Quarter Page. Cut-outs are in each of these pages, where the child would insert their coin. At the rear of the book is a cellophane envelope with a cellophane booklet (now empty), where the child would paste a color stamp over the coin- making a complete picture. When filled, the child would have saved $5.00. This book is complete, with all coins present and all pages filled with their proper stamps.
