This review is from: Yes, You Can! Raise Financially Aware Kids (Turtleback)

Let me begin by saying I helped create this book. Even so, I also use it on a regular basis. We have two kids and this book helped us teach them about money. Each chapter has two parts - information and activities. The activities are fun and are designed for kids ranging from 3 to 18 years old.

It's not a book for kids. It's a book for the parents to read and then spend time with their kids doing the activities.

Good chapters on allowances, earning money, smart shopping, differences between needs and wants and teaching kids that money isn't everything. Lots of information on how to incorporate your "family values" into money practices.

The cartoons by Paul Coker are very funny and really make this easy-to-read.
