Wimee Learns About Money (A Wimee’s Words Book)

The PBS show Wimee’s Words presents the episode Wimee Learns About Money. Wimee is a robot with friends Moby, Sylvia, and Siblee and their neighbor, Mr. Bill. Wimee just received a letter from his grandma with pieces of green paper; confused, he visits his friends to ask about this. When he finds them, he notices small, sparkling circles in a nearby fountain; he’s confused again. Mr. Bill teaches them about coins and bills: what they are made from, what to do with them, and how to get more! Wimee and his friends discover a way to earn more money, get what they want, and distribute the leftover money – save, spend, and give.

Money is a topic I am currently learning about in school. This story helps as a reminder and teaches me more about money than just how much it’s worth. The story and information are all understandable for my age and slightly younger. The illustrations are bright and cover the whole page. Wimee Learns About Money makes for a good book and (I’m sure) a fun episode to watch on TV!
