Bailey, Gerry and Felicia Law. Cowries, Coins, Credit: The History of Money. Illustrated by Mike Phillips and Rosie Brooks. Compass Point Books: 2006. ISBN: 0-7565-1676-5. Ages 11 to 15.
The book Cowries, Coins, Credit: The History of Money is a book about money and it's origination. It tells about the first form of money and how other coins and payment evolved. This book doesn't have very many words or phrases that are entertaining. Although the book doesn't have great words that grab your attention, it does have great facts and reference. The illustrations have some cartoons and some actual pictures. The illustrations are brightly colored and go along with the text. Some of the illustrations seem to be painted. I would recommend this book to people writing a paper or just interested in the origin of money.
