This book definitely teaches a lot about money itself. Over half of the book is on the history of money, how it has been used in the past, America's coins and paper money (including reading a dollar bill and anti-counterfeiting), different types of banking (savings, checking, plastic and electronic) and even ventures into discussing the Euro. On page 80, it begins introducing where money comes from (allowance, gifts and working) and the book closes with a chapter on investing but parents may wish to look for a book devoted to teaching investing (if that is your objective).

This book reminds me more of a fun trivia book or a book one would use for a school report. It definitely has a lot to teach in terms of money facts, several of which, I am sure many adults do not know. There are also "Fun with Money" sections (penny relay races, don't move the penny, hiding the coin, etc.) in each chapter which will surely keep kids entertained. This is one of the unique things found in this book as opposed to others. I wouldn't be surprised if kids read all those pages first!

Great book for kids to learn about money. Not only does it give suggestions on how to make money, but most importantly what to do with the money once you've earned it.

*Ideas for making money.
*Tips on how to spend money wisely.
*Most importantly ways to invest the money that you've earned so your money can multiply.

This book is ok. I have been reading it with my eight year old daughter. The reading contents are somewhat complex for an eight year old to grasp. I have to really break down what the author is saying. If this book is for kids I believe the author could have done a better job in making it a little friendlier. I am looking for another book to invest in, one that is a little simpler.

This is a valuable book about $$. And it isn't just for kids. I'm actually buying one for a grown-up for the terrific advice!

My eight year old liked this book, but not as much as some other books about money and investing. The illustrations could have been a little more colorful.

Every kid in the USA should have the opportunity to read this book.
