What readers say
Used at home and in classrooms across the UK, alongside our Money Wise Workshops.
"I recently introduced my child to Make Sense of Pence, and I've been genuinely amazed at the transformation! Not only was she thoroughly engaged from cover to cover, but her enthusiasm for learning about money has been nothing short of impressive."
Charlie Roche
"My 10 year old daughter loved this book! It's a great way to ease kids gently into the concept of being sensible with money, and it triggered a great conversation about how she will think differently next time she has pocket money to spend."
Joanna Hall
"Very good book teaching kids the concept and application of money. Well written and easy to understand for kids to read along with. Funny at times also which helps get certain ideas across. Highly recommended."
