What if your child understood money before they started school?

Meet Max — the curious, determined, wonderfully clumsy meerkat who finds one shiny coin and discovers the secret that changes everything: money isn't just something you spend. It's something you earn, something you save, and something you share.

In this warm, funny, and surprisingly powerful adventure, Max sets his heart on the most magnificent toy in all of Burrow Meadows — a giant fluffy stuffed meerkat that costs ten whole coins. With only one coin in his paw and a plan in his heart, Max gets to work. He sweeps, he carries, he waters (and accidentally soaks everyone in sight) — coin by coin, laugh by laugh, until he learns the most important money lesson of all.

What children learn from Max:

• Where money comes from — and why we have to earn it
• The difference between needs and wants
• How to resist temptation and make smart choices
• The Save, Spend, Share three-jar system — a real financial tool kids can use TODAY
• Why sharing feels even better than spending

Why parents love this book:

This isn't just a story — it's the conversation you've been meaning to have, wrapped in comedy, heart, and a meerkat who gets soaked by a garden hose. Max Learns About Money gives children a framework for understanding money that will stay with them for life — and gives parents a tool to make pocket money time actually meaningful.

Perfect for:

• Children ages 3–7
• Introducing pocket money and saving habits
• Classroom and library financial literacy programmes
• Families raising money-smart, generous children
• Part of the beloved Max the Meerkat series — where every adventure teaches something real.

“Big changes start with small paws.”
