This review is from: The Totally Awesome Business Book for Kids: With Twenty Super Businesses You Can Start Right Now! (Paperback)

This book is a must-buy for all kids who need extra money. It teaches them how to best run a business, with easy to follow step by step instructions, and the games and quizzes are really fun. The areas on budgets and record keeping are also exceptional. For those who don't have an idea of what kind of business they can do, there are also some great ideas inside. It will help them to earn their own money instead of just asking for a larger allowance. We have found it to be an investment that paid for itself in no time!

Parents and others who are running a small business can also benefit from the many time saving tips and guides enclosed. The suggested ages here are close - it was a little above level in some areas for my 10 year old, but perfect for my 16 year old.
