Any recommendations for early financial education books for children?

I want to introduce my kids to financial concepts since they are not taught at school. I believe it's never too early to help them become comfortable with talking about money and treating it seriously. I've bought a few books online, but the concepts are too simple. They only focus on saving money and cutting down on spending, which are important, but I'm looking for something deeper. Do you have any recommendations for good books?

Martin Lewis produced a brilliant book for use in schools, but can also be downloaded by anyone. I'll try and find a link.

How old are the kids roughly?

Not a book but the Cashflow For Kids boardgame is quite good.

Usborne Money for Beginners is very good, as is the rest of the series.

I recently bought a book called 'Panda's Financial Adventures' on Amazon and read it with my kids. It is more in-depth than the previous books I bought because it explains topics such as inflation, mortgages, property, and stock investments. What is great about it is that it consists of many stories, with each story covering one topic. We read one story a day, and my kids loved it. It is easier for them to understand when the information is woven into a story. I have bought most of the books the previous commenters mentioned, but so far, this book is the best if you want something more in-depth without boring the kids to death.
