Arthur the chimp needs money. Violet has a bike-washing business idea. The math gets complicated. This is the one that taught a generation of early readers that $2.30 doesn't go as far as you think.
Written and illustrated by Lillian Hoban, Arthur's Funny Money is a first edition from the beloved I Can Read series — a staple of 1980s early readers. This copy is in remarkable condition, looking nearly new despite its age. No dust jacket (none intended). No folded corners, no writing, interior clean and bright.
A sweet gift for a nostalgic reader, a teacher, or anyone building a vintage I Can Read collection.
