The Fisherman and His Wife brings a classic fairy tale to life with a modern twist on money management. When a humble fisherman catches a magical fish, he's granted wishes that his ever-ambitious wife demands-and demands again. Before long, they learn a powerful lesson: bigger isn't always better!
Through this entertaining story, young readers discover the concept of Smart Spending, exploring why balancing wants and needs is so important. They'll also be introduced to Good and Bad Deficits-learning how spending beyond one's means can sometimes be helpful (if done wisely), but often leads to trouble when taken too far. By connecting these lessons to real-world scenarios-like how governments must carefully manage what they spend and what they collect-children see firsthand the consequences of choices both big and small.
Part of the Economics for Kids series, this engaging book uses vivid storytelling to simplify complex financial ideas, making them fun and accessible for young minds. Ideal for both home and classroom reading, The Fisherman and His Wife fosters meaningful conversations about responsible decision-making, reminding children that a little planning today can lead to a brighter tomorrow.
