Customer Reviews

Basic, easy to understand, helpful

This book teaches kids about money using language they can understand. Sections include: "the beginning of money", "money in the US", "all about banking", "what is credit", and "the stock market". Among other things, it explains how to write checks, how the economy works, what a stock is, and how to start your own business. Easy to understand, with lots of pictures, yet very informative, this book should be required reading for every child.

Wonderful book on money for children

(...)This book is just full of ideas, concepts, drawings, etc. all presented in a simple, colourful manner. This book would make a great gift for a child, to help them understand money concepts. The author has written some other great books on money and children, for adults to read.

Very educational!

The colorful pictures and easy to read diagrams make this a captivating book. Godfrey covers it all - from the history of money, government and taxes, credit and it's pitfalls to investing. Because the pictures tell so much of the story even young children will gain insights about money. This book should be a must read for all middle school students; it's a comprehensive lesson in civics that answers the questions "What are taxes?" and "How are your taxes spent?" in a way children can relate to.

A great book about money for ages 7 to 107.

A great book about money. A must if you are interested in stocks, bonds, credit, ATMs, mutual funds, the history of money or money in general. For ages 7-107, making it great for school, while humorous cartoons make it fun to read. Ideas for thought, and projects for the family. Crisp, clear writing makes it easy to understand, whle Word Banks is mini glossary. Makes a great gift!
