Do we think that most adults really understand why we are in a recession or economic crisis now? Or what some of the big scams - like Madoff and Enron - were really about? Does anyone realize how much technology has influenced the way stocks are traded?
Hey kids! You can understand stuff that even your parents and teachers don't. This newly updated edition of Growing Money answers every question a budding investor might ask: How do you read stock pages? What's the difference between stocks and bonds? Why do stocks go up and down? How can I keep track of investments? Can kids invest?
There has never been a time when the world of finance has been so much a part of kids' daily lives. Today's kids want to know everything about money-especially how to make it grow. This completely updated guide explains savings accounts, bonds, stocks, and even mutual funds! Included are fun quizzes to reveal a young investor's risk tolerance, stories of success and failure, a behind-the-scenes look at the New York Stock Exchange, and best of all, an imaginary fund of dollars to invest, along with suggestions for selecting companies compatible with kids' values. |

| Gail Karlitz's Growing Money: A Complete Investing Guide For Kids is an exceptional investing guide in that it is written specifically to teach children (and adults!) how to make their money work for them. Covering savings in a bank, bods, stocks, and how to read the financial pages, Growing Money is a superb guide - and since it's written simply enough for a young person to learn from, it also makes excellent starter reading for adults who have never dabbled in investing before. The prose text is in large type and very straightforward, but does not talk down to the reader. Growing Money is a superior and highly recommended introductory guide, especially for the young people growing up in this brand new era of electronically transmitted investment capital. |
Wonderful! An easy read on a difficult topic!

| A wonderful book! I can finally teach investing to my 4-6 grade students. GROWING MONEY actually makes this intimidating topic interesting to kids, and is clear enough to give me the confidence to teach it. Although it claims to be for ages 9-12, it made a great gift for my 16 year old nephew. He's been recommending it to all his friends as well. |
Excellent, inspirational, informative - Vicki, NY, NY

| Let me explain to everyone who says otherwise, the point of this book was NOT to make children think that stock marketing was the only way to get money. No, the book was just trying to teach children about stock marketing so they could understand it and could possibly use it no or when they get older. I think the book had great details and explained the stock market very accurately. |
