Isabel's Car Wash

32 pp. | Whitman | April, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-3652-0 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Judy Stead. Because she wants to buy a doll, Isabel opens her own car-washing business with money she receives from five friends, her investors. This book, written by a former FDIC chairperson, teaches the basics of starting a business, investing, and risk. The appended explanatory note will be more interesting to budding investors than the forced story line. Brightly colored drawings illustrate events.
