Illustrated by
Bob McMahon.
Five snub-nosed, rosy-cheeked children are in hot pursuit of enough cash to build a clubhouse. The text is mum on their moneymaking schemes, allowing McMahon's amusing digital illustrations to reveal all their entrepreneurial efforts (recycling bottles, selling lemonade, etc.). As the kids trade five pennies for a nickel and so on, readers learn the values and equivalencies of different coins and bills.
