Book Review

Who knew learning about saving money could be so much fun? In “Compound Interest: A Mathematical Story About Saving and Growing Money”, Abbas Kazerooni takes us on a quirky farm adventure with a squirrel and a ferret who start with just one corn kernel each. While the squirrel munches away her entire crop, the clever ferret decides to stash some away. The result? A bumper crop, thanks to a little magic called “compound interest.” It’s a farming tale with a twist, teaching kids that saving a little today can lead to big rewards tomorrow!

Kazerooni’s story is not just entertaining but sneakily educational. The concept of compound interest is served up in the most delightful way, as the ferret’s growing crops show kids that patience and planning really pay off. Erin Davey-Jepson’s vibrant illustrations make the farm feel alive, and readers will love watching the characters learn their valuable financial lessons.

This book is the perfect introduction to smart saving for young readers. It’s got the right mix of humor, heart, and financial wisdom. Whether you’re a curious kid or an adult looking for a fun way to teach money management, “Compound Interest“ is the ultimate blend of fun and finance!
