(Careers, financial literacy) “Masterful.… An immensely appealing book because of its readable style…and its realistic but soft Asian-style illustrations." – Crystie Cook, poet. Children’s business book selected by the State of Vermont for primary school career/economics curriculum. “What are you looking at," asked the boy. “Trouble and treasure," said the old woman. A child with a knack for solving problems helps some hungry fish and finds a treasure. Teach someone to fish. This illustrated folk tale on the value of work bridges the gap between what kids learn in school about jobs, small business, and finance—and what they should know (how to serve others). This how-to picture book teaches how to spot opportunities to help others and make money; comes with ideas for businesses, job ideas, money-making activities and online resources on career choices, managing money, finding customers, and moving up in an organization. Young children will be captivated by the story; older ones will want to apply the things they learn (for kids ages 4 and up/ESL, preschool – 12th grade).Careers for Kids [multicultural] series - #3 (stand alone—previous title not needed.
