Editorial Reviews

Review
"Never overdraw your bank account." These words of wisdom are used at least four times in the first chapter of "Kids Can Make Money Too!" by Vada Lee Jones. It is a practical book, but it's not just about making money. It cautions young people to avoid the pitfalls we adults may have already experienced. The book is a major breakthrough for parents...bits of advice on how to have fun without spending money. It's hard to believe someone is writing the same advice we say to our own children.

The chapter "Services" lists 78 ways children (and parents if they want to be included) can earn money. A chapter on selling includes more than 60 items to sell and how to get started.

And by the time you finish the book, you know how to keep records, the dangers of credit cards, how to learn about income tax and many other things we all think our children can pick up by osmosis rather than a face-to-face or face-in-book lesson. -- Liz Manning/Palo Alto Times Tribune

Kids Can Make Money Too! by Vada Lee Jones. Quite a book. Deals with an ususual, very practical subject: Over 200 Ways To Earn Money And How To Make It Grow. Photographs, figures, tables. The author's point is: "Can your child afford to grow up?" In this world of difficult financial considerations, get that child aware of money at an early age. Very good, solid advice on managing your money, on checks, on bank statements.

The advice is superbly practical, very easy to understand (even for an adult). This is that perfect business book for the kid who knows that business can be a lot of fun, that our days can be made not longer, but wider. A marvelous guide to financial awareness. -- The Book Reader
