“This book is great! I have an 8 & 9 year old boys. I have them read a chapter and then we all go over it.

The chapters are short and sweet but provide a lot of information. The illustrations are funny and keep them engaged. The vocab words help them to remember key terms. I highly recommend!”

Most schools don’t really teach financial literacy, and so thank you, Walter, for writing this and helping kids have tools to help them in the future.”
