About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is starting to grasp the concept of money but not the ethics around earning it, or when a friendship is strained by financial matters. This humorous early chapter book follows best friends Owen and Joseph, who are desperate to earn enough money to buy a fancy two-person sled. Their get-rich-quick scheme, selling neighborhood dog poop cleverly disguised as "Super F" fertilizer, is a hilarious success until their consciences kick in. The story provides a gentle, funny entry point into serious conversations about honesty, integrity, and the consequences of our choices. For ages 6 to 9, it's a perfect story for modeling how to admit a mistake and make things right, all while navigating the complexities of friendship.
