Pony Money

Pony Money Second Edition is updated with three extra pages. It is the delightful re-telling of my fondest memories teaching my grandchildren to value money and to save for what they want. This book explains the hidden value of money and its terminology while educating the young reader about common equestrian terms. It's fun and educational! Who can resist that?!

Pony Money explains such monetary terms as numismatic, the origins of the penny, nickel, dime, quarter and other coins with pictures. Also, it describes the source of the different dollar denominations. It defines and illustrates the different terms used in riding and saddlery. Inside, is a fun game finding the hidden ponies and horses. How many can you and your child find?

I've lived in Bakersfield almost all my life. Although I was never able to have children, I've taken all children under my wing. My most enjoyable times have been with my family and the little ones I love, like my step-grandchildren. I take pleasure in teaching young children every day tasks, like cooking, cleaning, counting, and creating games out of the ordinary things. I believe, if at all possible, as long as it depends upon you, you should always keep your word. So children shall know what to expect. "Yes" means yes and "No" means no. "Maybe" means maybe. I had five horses as a youngster and rode them. Later, my husband and I had a horse for the kids. Abby and Garrett wanted us to get another pony when our old, limping horse had to be retired to a farm. Thus, we started the Pony Money game to save up for another one. These were my husband's grandchildren but they were just as much mine as well. There were always our children and someone else's kids at our house and that is the way we liked it!
