Editorial Reviews

Review

A perfect book for kids who want to know what they can do with their money...plenty of examples throughout. -- Newsday

Overall, smart, cheerful, and sensible. -- Kirkus Reviews

What's important is that the book is written in 'kid's English', not silly talk, or baby talk, but plain talk. -- Oakland Tribune

This review is from: The Totally Awesome Money Book for Kids (And Their Parents) (Paperback)

This is one of the great personal finance books of all time. So often, money managment books are written by wealthy people, so we can make them wealthier by trying to emulate them. Now come an eleven-year-old, wise beyond years to show us how to be comfortable, secure, and childlike, trusting ourselves, as we play the game of making money work for us. This is a definite "need to read" book
