“I bought Finance 101 for Kids and Finance 102 for Kids for my two boys as well as a graduation gift for my coworker’s son. My sons love it! I believe these series of books are an awesome graduation gift for elementary and middle-schoolers. They will not only learn but they will also be amused by the catchy illustration and some quotes by famous business leaders. I highly recommend these books!”

“A must read!!! My kids and I read the first version 101 many years ago and we enjoyed it and applied it to our daily lives as much as we could. This new version is as enjoyable and relatable as the first one. It’s definitely a must read not just for kids and teens but adults like me. Now that I have 3 high school kids… this makes it easy for me to teach my kids have to be savvy with their finances by having them read this book.”

“This book is a good resource on how to teach kids about properly managing their money. It emphasizes the value of spending wisely and living within your means, which many adults unfortunately don’t seem to understand. Highly recommended!”

“Great sequel to Finance 101 for Kids. This book is broken down into 30 “Lessons” about money. Each one is written in terms that middle grade kids can understand. You could hand this book to your child and that alone would increase their practical financial knowledge. But if you wanted to engage a bit more, it would not be difficult to read this book with your child, taking it lesson by lesson, and show them how each lesson plays out in the real world they are already living in.”
