Big concepts like supply and demand are easy to understand when we're talking about teddy bears!

The factory produces teddy bears. The materials come from all around the world. The cost of a bear includes everything needed to make it. The store sells each bear for a price.

This engaging board book breaks down the complexities of economics in a whole new way: with teddy bears! Join a cast of adorable babies to learn the ups-and-downs and ins-and-outs of economics. From understanding why a product (like a stuffed animal) costs what it does, to understanding how something is made and sold—your little learner will go on a path around the world to learn the basics of economics from start to finish.

Become familiar with buying and selling, production, and costs. This exciting board book serves as the perfect STEAM companion to a teacher's library or toddler's bookshelf.

From Starry Forest Books, Baby's Big World introduces babies to big concepts—everything from rocket science to music—for the very first time.
