At Your Service - Book and Guide Duo

$30.00
by Apprentissage Illimité

Nobody likes paying taxes… but imagine life without them!

At Your Service! introduces young readers ages 9–12 (Grades 4–6) to taxes and the public services they fund.

Through three entertaining stories, children discover how taxes pay for everyday essentials—from schools and hospitals to libraries, snowplows and police services.

A fun introduction to taxation, public spending and community responsibility.

Because the services we don't pay for directly aren't necessarily free!
