Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Reviewed with Margaret Hall's Credit Cards and Checks and Margaret Hall's Money.

Gr. 3-5. The Earning, Saving, Spending series discusses how the basics of money and finance affect people in their daily lives. Credit Cards and Checks explains why and how checks, debit cards, and credit cards are used as an alternative to spending cash. Money gives a good overview of the history, value, and uses of coins and paper money, then looks at how people earn and spend money. More child-centered in its approach, Your Allowance encourages children to think about their income of allowance, earnings, and gifts and consider how to budget it among three categories: needs, wants, and gifts. Good consumer practices, savings accounts, and charitable giving are among the topics of discussion. Using the familiar format of individual topics presented on each double-page spread, the series features one large, colorful photograph on every page, as well as a few lines of text in large type. Words in boldface appear in the appended glossary. Libraries may want to consider which books would be useful at this grade level, as older students who might benefit from the discussions may be put off by the large type and young look of the books.

My 8 year old daughter loves this book. She moves it from room to room with her and has learned the basics of what an allowance is, and what can be done with one.
