This charming children's book tells the story of Cora Cat as she sets out on an adventure to buy a hat. The relatable narrative about money and shopping, with simple math calculations, teaches kids lessons that they can apply to real life situations.

Cora has done an excellent job saving coins for her hat purchase. She travels to the bank to exchange the coins for cash bills and then proceeds to the hat shop. She faces the dilemma of which hat to buy, since each hat choice has a different price point. This is where the initial idea of budgeting is introduced since once the money is spent, it's gone. Each time she calculates how much money she has left, Cora is then able to consider other future spending options. For example, by not spending all her money on herself, Cora has the opportunity to purchase a hat for a friend.

The concepts of saving, giving, budgeting and smart spending are explored in an easy-to-understand format making the conversation about early money management with children very approachable. According to Cora Cat, it's purr-fect!
