Great Learning Resource,
By Johnnie (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mom, Can You Buy Me This? (Paperback)
I found both of the titles in this series to be an excellent resource in helping to teach my children about finance and fiscal responsibility. I especially liked how the author presents what many kids might consider to be a dull topic in engaging fictional stories that both entertain and educate. As a concerned and caring father I'd love to see some Dad, Can you Buy Me this? titles. The series gets two thumbs up from this Dad!

This Book Was a Superb Gift!,
By Leah (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mom, Can You Buy Me This? (Paperback)
I wish I had read this book when I was a kid! I gave my nieces this book for the holidays because I wanted something that was educational as well as fun. The girls were skeptical at first, but we were soon all delighted by the book. It is written in hip, kid-savvy lingo that helps them understand finance, and enjoy it! I strongly recommend this book as a guilt-free gift that will make kids, parents, and aunts very happy.

Finance mad Fun!!!,
By Less "Less" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mom, Can You Buy Me This? (Paperback)
Kathryn Durham's Mom, Can You Buy Me This?, is a great way to teach children about fiscal responsibility. There are two titles in this series Ryan Gets An Allowance and Richard Gets A Job. In today's ever changing economy, children need to learn to be financially responsible at an early age. Durham uses characters such as Mr. Tax to teach children about the importance of paying taxes. Its an entertaining as well and educational read for children, Durham does a great job bringing the this seemingly difficult information down to a level where children can understand it. Parents might even learn a thing or two! The book also has word problems at the end of each chapter, so children can test out what they learned. I would recommend this book to all parents.
