"Maury Becomes a Super Saver!" is a clever story that makes learning about money fun for kids. 

Maury the squirrel has a problem most of us wish we had—his savings jar is too full! With some helpful advice from his parents, he figures out how to take his savings game to the next level by opening a bank account. It's a great little adventure book that teaches kids how to be smart with money without ever feeling bored. Perfect for parents who want to sneak in some financial lessons during story time!

The story is playful, the illustrations are charming, and the message sticks. Kids will not only enjoy Maury's journey but might even be inspired to start their own saving goals. It's a great jumping-off point for family conversations about money, responsibility, and setting goals. A fun and meaningful read.
