Booktalk #1 Monopoly’s success as a board game was born from the ideas and innovations of two individuals: Elizabeth “Lizzie” Magie and Charles Darrow—but they weren’t working together. Magie, a feisty woman who cared about social justice, created the Landlord’s Game in 1903, hoping to educate the people about unfair practices within the real-estate market. Roughly 30 years later, Darrow played an iteration of Magie’s game and saw room for improvement—and an opportunity to make money. He skillfully marketed his updated version of the game, calling it Monopoly. Stone personalizes this story by asking readers to consider instances when they’ve made changes to a game’s original rules. (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2020-2021) Booktalk #2 This is the story of how the board game Monopoly was invented, and how it became one of the most popular games of all time. Includes “Monopoly Math” word problems and equations, a great supplemental STEM lesson. (New Jersey Garden State Children's Book Award 2021) |
