Master the art of the dollar! My Book of Money: Dollars and Cents is designed to help children build upon their knowledge of coins by introducing paper currency and more complex price totals. Using Kumon’s signature step-by-step approach, this workbook helps children gain the confidence they need to handle money in the real world.

The exercises are structured to increase in difficulty almost imperceptibly, ensuring the child never feels overwhelmed.
