Book Summary Information

Summary of Neale S. Godfrey's ultimate kids' money book

Is credit always a good idea?

How risky are various investments?

Do you know where stones that are twelve feet across and weigh more than 500 pounds are used as money?

How do banks keep track of everyone's money?

In this comprehensive guide, renowned financial expert Neale S. Godfrey reveals everything you need to know about money, including how to earn it, save it, spend it, and share it. In an engaging text, filled with energetic illustrations, photographs, charts, and diagrams, she provides a history of money, as well as a look at currency throughout the world. She also explains such topics as credit, checks, and electronic banking-- and relates them all to a young reader's world.

From a piggy bank to the Federal Reserve Bank, Neale S. Godfrey makes you think about money in a whole new way.

Godfrey does a fine job of covering complicated concepts, successfully tying her explanations with kids' everyday experiences (for example, creating a business plan for a dog-walking service). Kids will enjoy learning about finances with this easy-to-digest format, and grown-ups may be surprised to learn a thing or two as well. This book is about as far from dull gray, boring, banking as it gets. (Ages 8 to 12) --Ericka Lutz
