I haven't heard of this book yet. I also thought that the book could likewise be a good introduction to what greed means and for older children, the concept of materialism. I should check out this book to discover for myself.

My kids often ask me if we are "rich," and my answer is always, "yes." Rich in blessings, in family, in love. And in comparison to the rest of the world, we are rich in material things as well. But it is a hard concept for kids as they look around at their friends with the latest and greatest toy, and ask why they don't have that, too. I love books that are conversation starters, and this one looks great.
