George starts his day at the U.S. Mint, but he's soon swept away to a bank and dispensed, with a roll of his fellows, to make change at a grocery store. Again and again the quarter changes hands-- dropping into a vending machine, bouncing in a purse, slipping through a hole in someone's pocket. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt each transaction, the arithmetic is laid out to show how we add, subtract, and multiply money every day. Keen-eyed readers will notice the page numbers are represented in bills and coins, and the amounts pictured in each scene add up to the listed totals, aiding identification of different denominations of money. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis funny introduction to cold hard cash also includes an author's note about different kinds of currency through the ages, how to spot a counterfit bill, an introduction to the 50 States Quarters(TM) program, and a list of money-related vocabulary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePocket change has never been so entertaining\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoreen Leedy has been writing and illustrating picture books since she was 25 years old.
