Content
In simple and understandable terms, this book explains the fundamental principles of our money and goods-based economy. Why do parents need to work? Why do we have to buy almost everything, from bread to toys? And why is money such a useful thing? Using the example of a puzzle manufacturer, the book describes how a company is organized. And global trade is explained by tracing the journey of a pair of jeans from the Far East to Europe. Another important topic is the persuasive and powerful art of advertising, because there are still many important things in life that can’t be bought with money.
About the Series
The WWW series stands out for its playful, enticing way of conveying just the information that kids want to know. Centered on who-what-how questions, the titles in the series explore subjects of great interest to young children. The thousands of questions children ask daily are answered by means of interactive elements, engaging illustrations, and age-appropriate texts. Because the lively illustrations convey so much, the books hold children's interest even without an adult to read the clear, friendly texts. WWW is ideally suited for preschool and kindergarten ages, for children 4 to 7 years old.
