Finance Books for Kids: Your Opinion?  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Yesterday my family and I were in Barnes & Noble. Dh came across a book entitled A Smart Girl's Guide to Money: How to Make It, Save It, And Spend It (American Girl Library) (Paperback)
by Nancy Holyoke (Author), Ali Douglass (Illustrator)

I had about 10 seconds to glance it over. The concept looked good, but I decided that instead of buying it, I would do a little research. Has anyone read this book? What do you think of it? What's the best thing about it? The worst? Are there other books that you would recommend for helping parents address money-learning with kids? We try to be good roll models, but neither sets of grandparents taught dh or I much about money, and we want to give our kids some tools to made good financial choices.

TIA

I'm not sure about that specific book, but I know that Dave Ramsey has some books/workbooks for teaching kids about money.

Another idea that I've heard is to get 3 "piggy banks" that kids put their money into. 10% for Giving, 10% for Saving, 80% for Spending.
