Financial Basics as Sequel to A Bell For Maury’s Bicycle

Young readers and soon-to-be readers learn the benefits of saving money and how to keep track of their progress in Maury Becomes a Super Saver!, the sequel to the award-winning A Bell for Maury’s Bicycle. In follow-up to the first book, Maury the squirrel has been carefully saving the nuts he earned from his allowance and chores but now is running out of room to keep them in his special jar. To further his understanding of saving money, his parents help him open a savings account and make tracking his progress fun. With an engaging story and vivid illustrations, Maury Becomes a Super Saver! entertains young readers as they learn important financial concepts along with Maury.

What We Thought

Being a homeschool family we love to look outside of the box for educational resources for our boys. This includes teaching some things that we feel have gone by the wayside in some school districts. We love this book! Maury is easy to comprehend for our boys and they have enjoyed this book for weeks. We feel that learning at a young age about financial literacy will put them on a path of success as they grow and mature. They will have the groundwork already laid out for them and finances won’t be a taboo topic for them as it appears to be with so many others.

I love that this is an easy-to-understand book with great graphics and Maury is a fun character.

We hope that Maury continues his adventures for years to come to keep empowering generations with the life skills that we all need.
