Review
An unconventional storybook approach to finance. Perfect for the novice investor. --Ric Edelman, best-selling author of Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth, and of The Truth About Money
If personal finance and investment education is one of the greatest needs for people of all ages in this country, and it is!, then Susan Laubach's compelling storybook is extraordinarily timely and useful. This is the very best kind of teaching and learning about what counts in every sense. --Robert F. Duvall, National Council on Economic Education (President & CEO)
There is a sort of unwritten rule I keep with myself. Though I enjoy reading the business section of the newspaper, as well as browsing a variety of financial magazines and books, I leave those publications behind in my home office at the end of the day. But I recently came across one book that I couldn't resist making an exception for. The Whole Kitt & Caboodle, while delightful and easy to read, is also the most well-rounded source of basic stock market information and education I have come across in a single book. --Better Investing Magazine

Book I Recommend Most for Beginners,
By
This review is from: The Whole Kitt & Caboodle : A Painless Journey to Investment Enlightenment (Paperback)
Although there are a number of books that do a fine job of explaining the basic concepts of investing, there is one in particular that I often recommend to beginners who are looking for a general overview and introduction to the world of investing. The book is The Whole Kitt and Caboodle, written by Susan Laubach and published by Bancroft Press. Unlike most financial books, this one uses a fictional character to introduce the reader to the basic concepts of investing. It's a fun book and a quick read. And, once you've made it to the last page, you'll find that, in the midst of the book's entertainment and intrigue, you've picked up a pretty good foundation for long-term investing. -- Amy Rauch Neilson, "Beginner's Corner" columnist for Better Investing magazine

I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot. It is written in plain English and includes realistic examples. Because the book is written like a novel, it is easy reading.
