Smart about... series.
Illustrated by
Thor Wickstrom.
Like the other titles in this series, the book's text is presented as a school report, this time by a money-loving boy named, appropriately enough, Bill Green. His entertaining report covers everything from the reason why money was invented to how coins and bills are made today. The book features dialogue-balloon-filled illustrations ostensibly drawn by our aspiring banker.
