A snowstorm traps Buddy and his friends at Grandpa Quince’s chalet. By the fire, Grandpa tells of the four seasons of the economy he has lived through: the summer of soaring prices, the autumn when factories close, the winter when nothing moves. His secret for getting through every season? Four different baskets… and a small gold coin. But at the town hall, Mayor Melon has unpaid bills, and Durio shows him a dusty old machine hidden in the cellar: a printing press. Melon-francs rain down on the village, prices climb… and Buddy’s pocket money melts like snow in the sun.
What your child learns: economic cycles, inflation, spreading savings to get through every season.
33-page e-comic in PDF, ages 7 and up, to read on a tablet or computer, or to print. A useful gift for your children or grandchildren.
