A truly one-of-a-kind BAM (Business, Arts, and Mathematics) book!
When Theo sees a cello in the store window, he knows this MUST be his Momma Violin-only she's so EXPENSIVE!
Theo's entrepreneurial spirit kicks in as he works hard to earn money, but things don't always go his way. Theo tries dog walking, snow shoveling - when it snows, busking, and a gourmet hot chocolate stand, just to name a few.
"Look, Mom! Isn't she beautiful? Can I get her?"
"Yes, Theo, she is beautiful and no, she's too expensive."
"What if I earned money to buy her?" Theo asked.
"If you earn the money, you can get her," Mom replied.
Targeted for children ages 7-9, teacher/writer Kelley M Likes and illustrator Mary Barrows created a book about a child determined to cross off everything on his checklist and earn his Momma Violin.
