(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Satoshi Kitamura. Sixteen brief chapters present an overview of money--the whys and hows of its development, different items that have been employed as currency--from ancient times to today. Although the ideas are challenging, each follows naturally from the one before. Jenkins succeeds in presenting challenging ideas; Kitamura's tidy watercolors (spot art and panel illustrations) add humor and help illustrate the concepts. Bib., ind.
