Description

This book gives tips on how to make good decisions about spending money, from shopping around for the best deal to looking for second-hand bargains.

Quick Summary

If you're looking for a quick way to get your kid thinking about money without it feeling like a lecture, this is a great pick. Dickmann walks through real situations kids actually face like whether to buy something new or look for a used version, and why comparing prices before spending matters. The examples are straightforward and relatable, showing kids how small decisions add up over time. It's short enough to finish in one sitting but packed with tips that kids can actually use when they're spending their allowance or birthday money. Parents will appreciate that it covers practical skills like looking for bargains and thinking before buying, while kids will find it easy to digest thanks to the simple language and clear examples. Fans of other books about money basics or early life-skills reads will likely enjoy this one too.
