Oh No! Not Into the Piggy Bank – A Piece of Money Rolls Around the World
Minted, gifted, stolen, cursed – a Euro coin can experience quite an adventure!
For many children, coins such as the euro are their first encounter with money – mysterious, shiny and involving a lot of questions. Where does a euro come from? What can you do with it and who owned it before? And why do some people give money away so easily, while others have to beg for every single one?
Based on these questions, readers of ‘Oh No! Not Into the Piggy Bank’ follow the journey of a newly minted euro coin: from hand to hand and country to country, on trains, buses and even in a dog’s belly. Because, yes, sometimes money really does stink ...
- This humorous and thought‑provoking book playfully introduces children to the concept of value, ownership and the many different lives a single coin can have
- Packed with charm, adventure and a touch of mischief, it’s a perfect title for sparking conversations about money in a light-hearted and accessible way
