Storytelling is such a powerful tool in educational concepts. I remember reading a book called A Dog Money that teaches people on personal financing. The story starts with a girl who finds a dog that could talk and this dog named Money teaches the girl a lot about managing her pocket money and finally gets her dream come true by showing her how to earn and save money. The story was very interesting and engaging because the girl’s “dreams” are so relatable. She wants to travel and go to college and her experience of doing part-time jobs to earn her pocket money sounds like it could be everyone’s story. The setting of a dog that could talk and is knowledgable in personal financing is interesting and makes me want to read more.

The story does not tell a story for the story’s sake, but focuses on the learning outcomes which are the readers financial intelligence. It presents the lessons through a magic dog who could talk and guide the girl. The girl’s story in which her dream comes true through financing is also inspiring and motivates me when I read it.
