Product Description |
| In The Kid's Guide to Money: Earning It, Saving It, Spending It, Growing It, Sharing It, author Steve Otfinoski achieves a complicated feat: explaining to kids (ages 9 through 12) the fundamentals of how to thrive in the American economy. Otfinoski uses an easy, informative tone, and focuses on the young entrepreneur who wants to earn money. The author promotes the joys of work, finding a job or building a business, developing advertising, and so on. Later chapters provide explanations of banks, budgets, careful consumerism, taxes, investments, and, finally, charitable donations. Throughout, Otfinoski sprinkles interesting sidebars (called Money Moment and Kid Cents) featuring odd facts about money and quotes from kids. Humorous drawings liven up the chapters, and the appendices include a detailed glossary. Cheers to Otfinoski for making what is often a dry, boring subject a fascinating opportunity for learning and fun. --Ericka Lutz |

| After my third grader read Gary Paulsen's "Lawn Boy" he started asking me about stocks and investing. I wasn't doing the best job coming up with age appropriate, interesting responses, so I started looking for a book to help. He LOVED this book and has learned a great deal. He watches Market Watch with his Dad in the mornings before school (we are West Coast) and make some very interesting observations. We spent half the day after he finished the book looking at individual stock he thought might be doing well our current economy against the DJIA. He was making some decent picks! This book is a great resource for kids that want to know what all this market talk is about. Too bad is no longer stocked - but don't hesitate to buy from a book dealer! I've bought kids' books and textbooks from at least a half dozen different "stores" and never had an issue. |
It was a great book for kids who want to earn money.
