Economics for Kids: Incentives & Transactions – A Fun and Engaging Learning Adventure
Step into a world where economics comes to life in the most exciting way! Book 2 of the Economics for Kids: Lessons from Fables & Fairy Tales series invites young readers on an unforgettable journey with Econ Mon and Econ Kid as they trek through the breathtaking landscapes of Mt.

An Adventure with Real-World Economic LessonsTold through the timeless fable of The Crow & The Fox, this book transforms a classic tale into a fascinating exploration of economics. Through clever trades, unexpected decisions, and valuable exchanges, children will discover:

With engaging storytelling, fun examples, and relatable situations, kids will see how economics isn’t just about money-it’s about the way we interact, make decisions, and solve problems every day.
