You Can't Buy a Dinosaur with a Dime, tells the story of a boy who wants to buy a toy dinosaur but has to earn enough money to buy it. It takes the reader through the coming and going of his money as he works toward his goal of buying this dinosaur. This book would be a great introductory book for such math concepts as addition, subtraction, multiplication, money and decimals. It also exemplifies the importance of responsibility and hard work. Along with its concepts, You Can't Buy a Dinosaur with a Dime, provides several little activities that a teacher can do to coincide with the book. The children really responded to the illustrations in the book because of their vibrant colors. They also liked the money talk because some of them had piggy banks so they could relate to the boy in the story. When I become a teacher, I will definitely reference this book when I teach these math concepts.
