Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-Joining a crowded field, this cheerful treatment of personal finance will hold its own despite some cutesy, cartoonlike color illustrations. After a brief history of money, McGillian covers the usual topics-budgeting, earning, spending, saving, etc.-with effective ideas for resisting consumerism. Oddly, an afterword on the adoption of the euro is included. The writing is clear and lively; even the good advice is less schoolmarmish than usual. Books on this topic abound; the best one is still Neale S. Godfrey's Ultimate Kids' Money Book (S & S, 1998), which has better illustrations. An additional purchase.

Product Description

It’s dollars and sense! Kids are never too young to learn how to create a budget, use their talent to make big bucks, invest their earnings, and donate to charity. They can begin to take stock of their financial fitness with a Money Matters to Me quiz that separates the savers from the squanderers. Then it’s time to start making smart decisions by finding a money mentor, learning from mistakes, and keeping a journal of purchases and longed-for items. There’s advice on understanding the difference between needs and wants, getting the most from an allowance, becoming an entrepreneur, and sharing the wealth. Plus: personal thoughts from real kids
on how money affects their lives.
The author lives in Dobbs Ferry, NY.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Kids Money Book, December 9, 2007
This review is from: The Kids' Money Book: Earning * Saving * Spending * Investing * Donating (Paperback)
A great book which introduces how to earn, save, invest and of course how to spend wisely. This most likely will be a book that can be used as a building block for the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars We enjoy it, September 9, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kids' Money Book: Earning * Saving * Spending * Investing * Donating (Paperback)
Don't fool yourself, this is not an easy book and I would not recommend it for a child under the age of about 6 or for a child who has no interest in learning about money as they would become bored easily. This is the kind of book that you "work through" and keep for future reference and always coming back to when teaching kids about money!

2.0 out of 5 stars Book level too high for age listed, October 9, 2008
This review is from: The Kids' Money Book: Earning * Saving * Spending * Investing * Donating (Paperback)
This is not the book I thought it was going to be. It lists an appropriate age level, however when I have used it with that age group it has been WAY above their heads. I would suggest looking for a lower book.
