How about Making a Bet for All the Pocket Money? is a story about what happens when a twin brother and sister make a bet to give all of their pocket money for three months to the winner. The story is told in a pleasant and humorous tone and manner. While experiencing economic activities to “earn pocket money” for the first time, the twins undergo trial and error, which teaches them a big lesson: how you earn money, and in what state of mind you earn money, is more important than earning as much money as possible by any means necessary to win a bet. This book gives children a chance to contemplate on their own what is more valuable than money.
