Misconception
While the illustrations are very nice, the book has little to be desired. The other review is written by someone either totally naive of Wall Street or is the Author (friends) trying to push her book. This book does not describe Wall Street or what actually goes on there. It's more about a childs train ride to Wall Street. My nine year old was bored by it but it may appeal to children under 5. I also find it hard to beleive that any adult with an IQ would actually learn something from this.

I do not recommend this book if you are looking for a children's book about Wall Street and the stock market.

Intro to the financial world for children
Finally a cleverly written book to introduce children to the world of Wall Street. The book is an adventure which also appeals to adults-- some may learn something! I also appreciate that there are dimensions to the book for the parent-- so many children's books can be tedious for the reader. It is beautifully illustrated and a great addition to any child's library.
