You may need to clarify your question. The Buddha's teaching is for the purpose of transcending worldly things so it is supramundane.
Do you mean elementary or basic teachings, or do you really mean teachings about worldly matters (mundane teachings)?
If you mean the former, then see the sticky thread in this forum —

I don't know about a book on mundane buddhist teachings but there is a great thread on here about suttas for the householder which definitely has some stuff that could be considered mundane such as how to spend money wisely.
